Obituary - Stephen A. Titus, a former editor of The Signal, and who served at one time as supervisor of Babylon town, died on Wednesday at the Home for the Incurables in the Bronx.
Mr. Titus, who was 62 years of age, was born in Babylon, the son of Andrew Titus and Mary A. Leek. He learned the printer's trade under the Signal's founder, the late Henry Livingston. In 1875, he went to Port Jefferson to take charge of the now defunct Port Jefferson Leader. There he married Miss Mary Aldrich, who survives with their three children, William A. Titus, of Chicago, Herbert A. Titus of Boston and Mrs. Alfred E. Anderson of Port Jefferson. He is also survived by his sister, Mrs. Charles C. Roberts, of Mount Vernon, and a brother, William Titus. Mr. Titus established the Budged in this village, which has long ceased to exist.

In 1887, he became editor of the Brookly edition of the New York World, where he remained until about eight years ago when he became afflicted with locomoter ataxia.
Funeral services were held in the Port Jefferson Baptist church this afternoon, interment being in the Port Jefferson Cemetery
