Obituary
"Rev. Otis Henry Tiffany, D. D.," The Dickinsonian, November 1891, p. 9.
The telegraph announced briefly, that Rev. Otis H. Tiffany, D. D., died quietly at three o’clock in the afternoon of Oct. 24, at Minneapolis, Minn. The announcement was a surprise to most of his friends in the eastern part of the country, who had not been aware of his illness. The secular press, as well as the religious press outside of his own denomination, make prominent note of his death, for he belonged in an eminent degree to his times and to all denominations.
