King, who died about 11 years ago.  Thirty-six years ago Mr. Tiffany left his farm and took up his residence in this village, where for a brief portion of their period he engaged in the grocery business.  The surviving relatives are a daughter, Mrs. George H. Rowe, of this village, and a son, George H . Tiffany, of St. Paul, Minn., and two grandchildren.  A brother, William R.
