OBITUARY
from The Nelson Gazette, Thursday, July 4, 1996; pg. 3:

After a 10-month illness, Forrest S. Titus died of mesatheleoma (lung cancer) induced by exposure to asbestos Wednesday, June 26, 1996, at his home in Grass Valley, California. He was born in Taft, California, June 18, 1919, and lived there until he finished high school. Then the family moved to Watsonville, California.
In 1941, he married Frances Green, daughter of Ray and Catherine Armstrong, at Chapel of the Flowers in Berkeley, California. For 21 years they lived in Watsonville, California, where he worked as a locomotive fireman, then engineer, for the Southern Pacific Railroad. That's where their three children, Linda, Cathy and David, were born. In 1962, they moved to San Jose, California, where he continued working for Southern Pacific and AM Track for 21 years. After his retirement in 1982, he and Fran moved to Grass Valley, California.
Forrest belonged to the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers (B.L. of E.) and was a member of Grass Valley Assembly Church for 13 years, where he had served as board member, as he had in three other churches during their 54 years of marriage. He was a dedicated blood donor, giving 53 pints in recent years.
His hobbies including working on cars, reading, collecting golf balls and R.V. camping throughout the U.S. and Canada. They also traveled in Europe, England, Hawaii, China and Japan--his favorite being Hawaii.

This appears to be the same family as is listed on this page; however, the places of birth of the parents do not seem to be correct. Was John just ignorant of the true places of birth? Or was he perhaps absent (e.g., in the field working?) when the census was taken, and his wife answered the census as best SHE knew?

Following are contributions from Cousin Claudia Ross
regarding the ancestry of Mary Jane Thompson

Modified Register for John W THOMPSON

First Generation

    1.    John W THOMPSON was born1,2 about 1770 in County Tyrone, Ireland. He died3 in 1849 in Cross Creek, Jefferson, Ohio, United States.

John W. Thompson emigrated from County Tyrone, Ireland with his wife and four children around 1806.
He settled in the Cross Creek area of Jefferson County, Ohio between 1807 and 1809, where additional
children were born. His children, with the exception of Mary and Nancy, married and settled on nearby
farms in the Cross Creek/Steubenville area. Mary and Nancy did not marry and lived out their lives on
the family farm.

His will was made in 1842 and probated in 1849, naming his ten children. At the time of the making of
his will, his wife was still living, as he makes settlement for her. It is assumed that she died between
1843 and 1850, as she is not living with her daughters in the 1850 census. No given name is known for
his wife, as she is referred to in his will as "my loving wife."

After the distribution of his property, Mary and Nancy remained on the farm until their deaths. As named
in the probate of his will, his children were: (1) William, (2) Matthew, (3) Margaret, (4) John, (5) Moore, (6)
James, (7) Nancy, (8) Richard, (9) Thomas and (10) Mary.

John's birth year was assumed from very broad age ranges in 1830 and 1840 census records.

(excerpt from biography of Matthew Thompson referring to his father John Thompson)...."When he was
two years old his father brought him and the rest of the family to the United States and located in
Jefferson county, Ohio, among the pioneers...John, grew to maturity and was married when a young man
to Maria Ross, who was a native of Jefferson county, Ohio. In 1850 they came to Washington county,
Iowa, and entered wild prairie land from the government and here spent their latter years, Mr. Thompson
dying at the age of seventy-two. Twelve children were born to them, two of whom died early, namely:
William, deceased; John, also now deceased, lived in Pleasant township, this county; Mary, Moore,
Nancy, Margaret, Caroline, Thomas, Robert. Matthew, of this review, was the third child in order of birth
in his father’s family...The parents of the subject were forty-four days making the tedious and somewhat
dangerous overland journey from the Buckeye state to Washington county, Iowa, bringing with them
three wagons and nine horses. They had hard work getting through in many places. The father secured
one hundred and sixty acres of land here for which he paid five dollars per acre. He began life in typical
pioneer fashion, erecting a log cabin and stable which, as he prospered, gave way to more substantial
buildings, for in time he had a very comfortable home and an excellent farm. He was a good citizen and
did a great deal for his community in many ways."

In the book The Thompson Family of Jefferson County, Ohio compiled by Bob Hanes,
Albert Thompson recalled (p. 20): "Living across the street from Grandma and
Grandpa Thompson in New Alexandria were three Thompson 'boys.' They were
James A. Thompson, born 1855, died 1934, William M. Thompson, born 1858, died
1934 and J. Ellsworth Thompson, born 1862, died 1936. Actually they were all
bachelors. Their father was the brother of Richard Thompson so they were cousins of
Thomas. They all played instruments. The brothers, Grandpa Thompson and a
couple other farmers from the area would all get together once a week to practice for
playing in the church orchestra on Sunday mornings."
