Titus Obituaries M-Z
Titus Obituaries M-Z
The following Titus obituaries are some of those that haven't yet been placed as part of the main Titus genealogies. Some belong to my "brick walls" and others could fit into some of the more recent immigrant lines, such as those that are known to have come to our shores from Lithuania, Wales, Armenia and Germany, as well as African American and American Indian Titus lines. It is hoped that the obits that follow will help fellow researchers to update their own genealogies as well as to provide help to me in improving mine.
Madeleine Titus of Eagan, who taught piano for 60 years at Macalester College in St. Paul and in her home, guided her students with patience, while gently insisting they meet the challenge of becoming skilled musicians. The longtime Minneapolis resident, who faced steep obstacles during her life, died on July 5 in Elko of congestive heart failure. She was 94. When Titus was 19, her father died, and she helped put food on the family table by teaching piano to students in their homes, sometimes as far away as Wisconsin. She would tell her son Anthony of Eagan: "Students were as scarce as hens' teeth," he said. About 10 years ago, macular degeneration took her sight, but she learned the skills to do things for herself, and she continued to play piano until a few years ago. Her son, who took lessons from her when he was a child, said she had an indomitable spirit and a "lifelong desire to be capable," even in her 90s. "Her thrust was to make sure you enjoyed the act of playing," said her son, who is a classical guitarist and music teacher at Inver Hills Community College. Her son consulted with her about teaching, saying she coauthored curriculum and tests for the Minnesota Music Teachers Association. Her other son, Hiram of Minneapolis, is a pianist and composer who wrote music for the Children's Theatre Company of Minneapolis and the Guthrie Theater. In 1932, she graduated from the old Marshall High School, and in 1936 she earned a bachelor's degree in music from what is now called the MacPhail Center for Music. From the mid-1940s to the late 1970s, she taught beginning piano for Macalester's Music Department. Donald Betts, retired chairman of the department, said she was a "very successful" teacher. She performed around the Twin Cities for decades, and she was the organist at the Aldrich Avenue Presbyterian Church in Minneapolis for more than 40 years Seale Lea of Minneapolis, a former college piano student, returned to the keyboard later in her life, taking lessons from Titus and having her daughter study with Titus as well. Lea said that her longtime teacher was a "tremendous" person and teacher and that she was "patient," but she expected her students to learn the finer points of playing. She remained friends with her pupils and their families long after the lessons ceased. "She had a depth of interest she maintained for her students on a personal level," said Lea. She had continued giving lessons on a reduced schedule into her 80s. She also entertained or played during chapel services at seniors residences. And she helped children learn to read at Armitage Elementary School in Minneapolis. Her husband of 47 years, Hiram, died in 1991. In addition to her sons, she is survived by her sister, Janet Olson of Edina, and three grandsons. Services have been held.

Paul Titus. As one of Las Vegas' top advertising executives, Paul Titus had a knack for bringing out the best in his accounts by focusing on basic -- and sometimes obvious -- things to get his message across. When the Tropicana hotel was looking for a slogan in the late 1950s that would define its Folies Bergere revue to make it stand out from the original French show, ad agencies from across the nation submitted ideas. But it was Titus' fitting and simplistic entry that won the contract: "Viva La Difference!" Paul Titus, who from 1970 to 1978 was advertising and marketing director at the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, died Friday at his Las Vegas home. He was 77. Services for the Las Vegas resident of 27 years will be 1 p.m. Friday at Desert Memorial Cremation and Burial Society, 1111 Las Vegas Boulevard North. "He was such a professional," said Harvey Diederich, advertising director at the Tropicana in the late 1950s. "Paul's catch phrase for our Folies Bergere production fit the French theme and conveyed our message that there were differences in the two shows, and that both shows were good." Born June 24, 1925, in Newburyport, Mass., Titus graduated from Colby College in Waterville, Maine, and was a Marine veteran of World War II. He moved to Las Vegas in 1956 and two years later was hired as advertising and publicity director for the Flamingo. From 1959 to 1970, Titus was president of two local companies, Dirk Advertising and R.C. Hamm Advertising. During his tenure as advertising and marketing director at the LVCVA, the annual budget for Titus' department skyrocketed from a couple hundred thousand dollars to more than $2 million. In December 1977, Titus broadened the limits of a board-approved tourism study by $10,000 to include interviewing 800 black men and women in eight major U.S. cities to learn what they thought of Las Vegas as a potential vacation spot. Although the information gave officials some of their first significant minority tourism data, Titus was reprimanded by the board for not getting approval to extend the study. Seven months later, he resigned. In 1978, Titus moved to California and operated P.T. Consultants, a San Diego advertising firm. He retired in 1998 and moved back to Las Vegas. Titus is survived by his wife, Patricia Titus of Las Vegas; three daughters, Sheila Page and Susan Ratigan, both of Las Vegas, and Vicki McCurdy of Carson City; two sons, David McCurdy and Bruce McCurdy, both of Las Vegas; 12 grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren.

Warren Stewart Titus, a pioneer of the modern cruise ship industry, died at a Marin County hospice July 19, 2009. Mr. Titus, who was 94, lived in Sausalito and was a Bay Area shipping executive for nearly 50 years. He founded two luxury cruise lines, both based for a time in San Francisco. He was one of the fathers of the modern cruise concept. At a time when ocean liners were facing fierce competition from air travel, he helped convert staid British liners operated by the famous Peninsular and Oriental Navigation Co. into cruise ships, by marketing segments of long voyages as vacation trips. He was president of P.&O. North America and commissioned advertising genius David Ogilvy to create a campaign on the idea that ship travel was luxurious and fun. The campaign was called "Run Away to Sea." P.&O. later morphed into Princess Cruises and was featured on a television show called "The Love Boat" and old-fashioned ocean travel changed completely. Mr. Titus left P.&O. to found Royal Viking Line, a San Francisco operation that had three big white cruise ships offering luxury cruises. The cruises were a staple of the upscale market in the 1970s and '80s. Royal Viking went out of business in 1987, and Mr. Titus, who was then 72, figured his career was over. But he got a call from Atle Brynestad, a Norwegian millionaire, who asked him to start another cruise ship company. It was the beginning of Seabourn Cruise Lines. "The most challenging and exciting thing in this industry is starting a cruise line from scratch," Mr. Titus was quoted in a company magazine as saying. The new line commissioned construction of a brand new ship in a German shipyard, named it Seabourn Pride and sailed it to San Francisco, where the company had its headquarters for some years. Within four years Seabourn had been named the top cruise line in the world by Condé Nast Traveler magazine. A secret of Mr. Titus' success was his personality, said Ernie Beyl, who worked with him for more than 30 years. "He was a very gentlemanly guy who treated everyone well. The crews and staff on the ships all loved him," Beyl said, adding that he also had a knack for innovation and selecting the right associates in the business. Mr. Titus retired from Seabourn in 2002. All of the Seabourn ships are flying their flags at half-mast in his honor. Warren Stewart Titus was born in Anacortes, Wash., in 1915, moved to Hawaii as a young man and joined the Marine Corps in 1933. After his discharge, he served as a Honolulu police officer and then joined an interisland steamship company, and later Theo H. Davies, a Hawaiian shipping company. He was a vice president of the firm in 1959 when he was recruited by P.& O. to head its North American operations. He also worked for American President Lines when the company operated passenger ships and served for a time as president of the San Francisco Convention and Visitors Bureau. He also loved to sail and was a member of the St. Francis Yacht Club. "I love the sea," he said once, "Standing out there on deck, leaning on the rail, watching the ocean with no deadlines to worry about. That's the life." Mr. Titus is survived by his wife, Janice Farrar of Sausalito; two daughters, Patricia Titus of Sherbrooke, Quebec, and Barbara Fowler of Rio Nido; six grandchildren; and a great-grandchild. A son, Warren Titus II, and a daughter, Toni Titus, predeceased him. The family prefers donations be sent to the American Cancer Society or to a favorite charity. A memorial service is pending.

Wilson John Titus, 88, went to be with the Lord on Dec. 17, 2005. He was surrounded by his daughters, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. We thank God for this. He was born on Nov. 27, 1917, in Nenana. Wilson once shared that if he did nothing else it would be OK, because he had done everything he'd ever wanted with his brothers and his own family. Wilson lived a life full of hunting, trapping, fishing and dog mushing all over the Minto Flats. He passed his skills on to many generations. There was nothing better to him than being out on the land of his people. There was no river, slough, hill or lake Wilson left untraveled. Wilson was known for being a hard-working man, not only in his gathering of his subsistence foods, but in everything he chose to do. His employment included road construction with Smith Brown, MK Contractors, Yutana Barge Line, U.S. Postal Service, Interior Regional Housing Authority, Polarnana Corp., Alyeska Pipeline Service Co., the federal building in Fairbanks and the Alaska Railroad. Wilson was a skilled carpenter and helped with many projects in his village. He also worked as deckhand and fireman on the steamers Alice and Nenana. He served on the Minto Village Council and the Minto Dog Musher's Association. In 1939, Wilson and his friends Neal Charlie and Alfred Frank went on a journey that many still talk about. It started with a visit the three made with an elderly couple. The couple spoke of trips they made walking in the hills. This story sounded so good that when they left the couple, Wilson told his friends, "Let's walk to Sawtooth." They left Old Village on Aug. 20. They paddled to Axle then walked from there; on reaching Sawtooth, they decided to keep going to Rampart, then to Stevens Village, then go back home by way of Livengood. They arrived at Cache on Oct. 10 after spending two weeks in Rampart cutting wood to earn money for the return journey. Wilson married Selina Jimmie on April 5, 1944. Being an avid musher, Wilson told his granddaughter he never had good dogs until he married his wife. They shared numerous dog racing championships in the Interior, and one year took home both the men's and the women's first place at the Minto Spring Carnival. He trained his dogs for his brother, Charlie's, use in the North American one year, in which Charlie brought home the championship. Wilson was preceded in death by his wife Selina Jimmie; parents John and Charlotte Titus; grandmother, Captain Annie; sons, Gary, Jackie, Bailey and Wilson Jr.; daughters, Doreen and Regina; brothers, George, Walter, Leo and Charlie; and sister, Martha Charlie. He is survived by his daughters and sons-in-law, Wilma and Peter David and Lou Anne and Richard Williams; son, Bennett; nephew, Melvin Charlie; grandchildren Melanie, Kristi, Gary, Kyle, Conrad Vent, Justin Vent, Selina, Rachel and Peter James (Woods); and great-grandchildren Aviendha, Alliyah and Notol.
