A reminder from the Vernon County Sheriff's Office

 

Sheriff Buehler wants to remind everyone of fire safety with the cooler weather this time of year. Residential fires have increased in Vernon County, so here are a few tips.

Please be mindful of radiant heaters and small space heaters. Keep items away from them that could ignite. Please read the instructions on the heater before using an extension cord.

Make sure flus and chimneys are clean for wood burning stoves.

You can purchase carbon monoxide detectors to keep you aware of any danger.

It is always a good idea to have a fire extinguisher on hand.

Obituary - Kathlyn Tilton

Our beloved mother, Kathlyn Tilton, 84, passed away peacefully at home on November 14, 2025, surrounded by her family and loved ones for every moment of her last few weeks. Born on March 2, 1941, at Gassville, Arkansas, she was the daughter of the late Roscoe Duggins and Marie (Poynter) Duggins. She attended school at Cotter where from an early age she developed a love of music, playing the trumpet in the band. She also played on the basketball team and was a talented piano player. Kathlyn was united in marriage to CC Tilton on August 7, 1958.

She was preceded in death by her husband, CC Tilton; her sister, Bonnie Sue (Duggins) Burrow; and her son, Gary Tilton. She is survived by her daughter, Sandra (Scott) Booth of Wheatland, MO; her son, Steve Tilton of Yellville, AR; son, Randall (Kathy) Tilton of Scott, AR; daughter, Laura (Jerry) Smith of Timbo, AR; and son, Clint (Cassie) Tilton of Yellville, AR; as well as eight grandchildren; and a niece Pat (Bill) Woods of Bull Shoals, AR.

In her last weeks, a stray kitten found its way to her bedside, offering warmth and quiet companionship. Their bond brought her great happiness and comfort, a final gift of simple, pure joy. That small life brought her immense comfort and joy at the end of her journey. The family adopted him in her honor, keeping close the little life that meant so much to her.

A memorial will be held at a later date at George's Creek Cemetery.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Midwest Cremation and Funeral Services of Springfield, MO.
