The death by paralysis of Hosea Ballou Titus occurred Sunday, July 7, 1895, at
the home of his son, E. H. Titus, in Forge Hollow. His father, Billy Titus,
moved from Connecticut to the Town of Marshall in 1800 and built up a large iron
and moulding industry. It was from these forges that the settlement Forge
Hollow derived its name. He was the originator of the blast furnace, producing
all kinds of stoves, plows, and smaller iron items on order. The works were
merged into a company known as the Hanover Iron Manufacturing Co. H. B. Titus
inherited the business
and conducted it until the condition of the iron industry was such as to drive
the manufacturer of these goods into the coal and iron districts. Mrs. Titus
died in 1893.
Besides his son, Mr. Titus leaves three sisters, Mrs. A. Day of Deansboro, Mrs.
P. J. McAdam of New York and Mrs. Mark Hanchett of Chicago. (Waterville NY
