Two Landaff treasures pass away

Word was received Tuesday that "Doc" Frederick Erb died after a period of declining health. Doc had his practice on Mill Brook Road right up until a few years ago. He held many town offices throughout his lifetime and will be sorely missed.

E. Norma Titus also died on Tuesday. She was the ultimate farmer's wife, although boasting that she had never set foot in her own barn. Norma was always up for a good conversation with neighbors. People she didn't even know would stop in to talk to her just because they had heard how interesting she was and that she knew all about town. Norma was well-known for scrapbooking before it came in vogue. If anyone missed a local news article, one would know that Norma would snag it for her books.

Landaff lost two treasures this week. If you have things you'd like to share about Doc or Norma, please leave a comment.
