YORKSHIRE COLLEGE STUDENT’S SAD END.
Mr. Norman Titterington, son of the Rev. W. T. Titterington, Principal of the Fulneck Schools, has met his death by drowning whilst on a holiday visit in Scotland.
The news reached Pudsey on Friday, August 1st. The Rev. W. T. and Mrs. Titterington had only left Fulneck that morning on a visit to Filey. Immediately on receipt of the sad news Mr. Titterington left for Scotland.
It seems that young Mr. Titterington was staying at a students’ camp at Mertoun, near St. Boswell’s. On Friday morning he went to bathe in the Tweed, and was drowned at a place where the river is fast-flowing and deep, with treacherous currents in places. The body was recovered by a diver from Leith, and taken to Fulneck, where the funeral took place on Tuesday last.
Mr. Titterington was only 21 years of age, and a few weeks ago he passed his final examination for the B.A. degree at the Yorkshire College, Leeds.
