Joel Columbus TITUS(1) (2) was born on Jan 31 1869 in Moriah, New York. (3) He died on Apr 29 1943 in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey. (3) [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 3, Ed. 1, Tree #6325, Date of Import: Dec 3, 1998]
Joel Columbus Titus was born in Moriah, New York, January 31, 1869. He married Nellie Louisa Watson in Moriah in 1890. Their first child, Edwin, was born August 5, 1891. He lived only four years, until July 26, 1895. His brother, Harold Watson Titus, was born only four months before Edwin died. What Joel did in those early years is not known; but his third son, Homer Eaton Titus, was born in Mt. Vernon, New York, three years later. Some time between 1898 and 1905 Nellie contracted tuberculosis. An attempt was made to improve her health by having her move into a tent on Titus Hill in Moriah, but her health steadily declined and she died in 1905.
Joel sent Homer and probably Harold also to live with his sister Mary Greene, who kept the boys until Joel married a year later. Irene King also worked for the Methodist Book Concern. They bought a house in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey, and brought the boys there to live. Irene was a kindly person and was a good stepmother to the boys. In the meantime Joel became superintendent of the Methodist Book Concern in Dobbs Ferry, New York. He was also active in the Methodist Church in Ridgefield Park. He was on the official board of the church. His brother Homer F. and his family lived nearby. Undoubtedly Joel named his third son after his brother and his first son after his father, Edwin Bristol Titus.
Joel lived long enough to see both his remaining sons married and grandchildren born to his youngest son, Homer. He and Irene purchased a cottage in the Catskills where they would go in the summer and entertain people from the Book Concern as well as family relatives. Joel retired from the Book Concern and both he and Irene died while Homer Eaton Titus and his family were living in Tennessee.
