Titus, one of the best known of Trenton men and one of the oldest and most respected citizens, died this morning at 4 o'clock at Mercer Hospital after an illness of one week. Death was due to pneumonia. Mr. Titus was confined to Mercer Hospital last Spring and Summer for a period of four months because of a peculiar affliction of the veins of his leg. He was given up by his physicians but eventually recovered and enjoyed fairly good health until ten days ago when he contracted a cold which quickly developed into pneumonia. Harmon H. Titus was born seventy-five years ago at Stony Brook and of ancestry which had for many years figured prominently in the affairs of Mercer county. He came to Trenton fifty-five years ago and continued a resident until his death. Several years ago he was the most extensive grain dealer in this section and conducted a shipping station at the present site of the Trenton Transportation Company. He was a miller by trade and was identified with grain business at the time of his last illness, having a store at 126 South Warren street. SURVIVING RELATIVES. Mr Titus was a widower.

He was born Feb. 20, 1888, to Josephine and Dorr Titus in an era when conservation was becoming a national topic for the first time. His father died when he was a baby. When he was two, lumber production in Michigan peaked. Its decline was almost imperceptible at first, as loggers and sawmills shifted to hardwoods. Meanwhile, Traverse City’s first boom occurred from 1880- 1900, while he was growing up. It changed the face of the growing lumber town when Titus was a little boy. Handsome new brick buildings replaced wood structures downtown. New Victorian homes went up along Sixth Street. The population almost quintupled, zooming from 1,897 to 9,407. By 1900, Harold Titus was 12 — old enough to remember the boom and to witness the bust that would follow. The next year, Teddy Roosevelt became the first president devoted heavily to conservation, something that must have made an impression on the Traverse City teenager. Over the next seven years, TR placed 230 million acres under public protection, and established and dedicated 150 national forests, 51 federal bird reservations, four national game preserves, five national parks and 18 national monuments. Titus played football in high school and was working at the Evening Record in 1907 when he and another high school student there, Jay Smith, took off to attend the University of Michigan. They were “excellent reporters and turned out a very high grade of work,” the Record reported in a farewell story on Sept. 19, 1907. Titus covered University of Michigan sports and campus events for the Detroit News. He left school because of a bout with tuberculosis and became a News crime and courts reporter, covering sensational trials. In 1912, he went to Colorado and worked with cowboys for several weeks. He married Beth Benedict, who would be his wife of 53 years, in 1914, and came back to his hometown. His first three books, all westerns, were “I Conquered” (1916), “Bruce of Circle A” (1918) and “The Last Straw” (1920). He wrote 11 novels in all, and hundreds of short stories and magazine articles. Timber was his fourth novel. The author’s sense of responsibility and stewardship was awakened in 1918, shortly after he returned home from stateside service in World War I. He traveled to a favorite tract of forest along the Manistee River and saw a doe swimming frantically for her life down the river, pursued by poachers and their dogs. It appalled him and motivated him to write a series of stories that eventually became “Timber,” Kates said. Over the next six decades, Titus would see new state forests rise in the northern Michigan wastelands of his youth. Michigan’s state forests now cover nearly 4 million acres, the largest dedicated state forest system in the United States. When he died on Oct. 9, 1967, northern Michigan was a vastly better place from the cutover wasteland he was born into. And Harold Titus helped make it so.Northwest Arkansas Times. Tuesday, October 10, 1967. p. 2.TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) - Harold Titus, conservation editor of Field and Stream magazine, died Monday. He was 79. Titus helped organize the Izaak Walton League in 1922 and served as commissioner of the Michigan Forest Service from 1927 to 1935.
