Gladys Timmons worked as 2nd trick operator at Dyer for several years in the 1960's.  Can't remember the exact years but I believe she died of breast cancer in the late 1960's-she had not yet retired.

Anyone interested in seeing the Titzel gravestone, it is located in the Mount Carmel road cemetary about a mile west of Stinesville on the north side of the road.  It is toward the back of the cemetary.
