A gentleman VINO can truly be
claSsed as veritable empire build
er of this western country is E. Tit
comb, IL, who has been appointed
by Mayor G. G. Cheshire as city
engineer, street superintendent, and
sealer of weights and measures
MIR. TitcOmb was the pillar
of this community for many
years and as Writ G. Bowman
recently said: "a man who has
done more for NOgaleS than any
other person.
He was born March 19, 1863 at
Windham, New Hampshire. His par
ents were Edward Titcomb and
Sarah Abbott Titcornb.
Following his school days in
Windham he took Horace Greeley's
advice to ''go West young man. and
at the age of 18 set out for the
West.
After working for awhile at a
mine in New Mexico he came into
Arizona in 1881 on a prospecting
trip through the Mogollon noun
tains. Two years later found him
Nogales international., 1937-06-01

first actually a resident of Arizona
when he went to work for the cop
per mines at Clifton.
A year later, in 1884, he used
to visit NOgales while enrOute to
and from the Cananea mines
where he was employed. In those
days, Mr.. Titcomb, said, the
Apaches were ON the warpath
and to escape Indian attacks
it was necessary to ride horse
back at night when on Journeys.
Came Here In '89
Mr.. Titcomb first settled at No
gales in 1889, after living in Mexi-
co for five years. He came here
as an ore buyer and representative
of mining machinery house.
That same year, 1889, with Col.
William Roy, a Civil War officer,
he founded Roy g. Titcon1b, Inc, the
largest concern this city ever had,
Col. Roy, Mr.. Titcombs partner,
was a hotel clerk in Chihuahua
prior to coming here. Roy, man
without capital, attended to the
books while Mr. Titcomb looked aft
er the selling and eventually Roy &
Titcomb, Inc, grew to become one
of the most important business
houses in the Southwest and on the
West Coast of Mexico.
Mr.. Tftcomb, at Nogales ON Nov
ember II, 1892, married Miss Mary
Christ, whose father, George Christ
got this customs district cut of
from the El Paso district. and
Christ became the first collector OF
customs at this port.
Mr.. and Mrs. T1tcon1b are the
parents of six children, Edward A
Titcomb and Mrs. Dorothy Titcomt
of Nogales, Mrs. Georgia Mccall and
Mrs. Josephine Bailey, both of Pasa-
dena, California, Mrs. Mary Lee
Titcomb Of New York City, and
John Titconb of Binghampton
New York.
A Generous Man
To Mr. Titcomb'S generosity many
Of Nogales' leading citizens owe
their start in life.
/ He has been prominent during
his entire residence here in the
organization and support of many
Of Nogales' financial, civic and re-
ligious bodies.
