	CYRIL AYLMER VIVIAN is one of the many successful business men of Miami
who have barely attained the majority of thirty odd years of life. Mr. Vivian
has made a reputation in the abstract and title profession, and is secretary
and treasurer of the Florida Title Company.
	He was born at Apopka in Orange County, Florida, in the year 1893, son 
of H. A. and the late MARGARET ELIZABETH (HARDING) VIVIAN. His father was born 
in England and his mother in Ireland. They came to America soon after their 
marriage, when the father was only twenty-one, and established a home in Orange
County. When CYRIL A. VIVIAN was a child they moved to Orlando. His father is
now living at Tallahassee.
	C. A. VIVIAN was reared at Orlando, is a graduate of the high school 
that city, and finished a year’s business course in Stetson University at DeLand
DeLand. Since leaving school his time, effort and study have been concentrated
on the abstracting and title profession. He began as an office man at a nominal
salary in Orlando, but in 1915 went to Miami to work in the office of the Miami
Abstract Company, owned by Tatum Brothers. This company was later merged into
the present Florida Title Company. Industry and special talents for abstract
and title work have brought Mr. Vivian many successful promotions until he is
secretary and treasurer of one of the largest concerns of its kind in Florida.
The president of the Florida Title Company is S. M. TATUM, of the firm of the
Tatum Brothers, known all over Florida on account of their investments and
development work in real estate, commerce and industrial enterprises. They have
probably accomplished more than any other one organization for the development
of Miami and Southeast Florida. The Florida Title Company is capitalized at
$100,000.
	Mr. Vivian was glad to do his part in the World war. Early in 1918 he 
entered a training camp at Syracuse, New York, being assigned to duty with the 
Three Hundred and Eighth Guard Company, attached to the Quartermasters Corps. 
He was with that company on guard duty at Baltimore with the rank of sergeant, 
and received his honorable discharge in the spring of 1919 at Camp Gordon, 
Georgia. He at once resumed his business connections at Miami. Mr. Vivian is 
affiliated with the Masons and Elks. He is a member of the Miami Civitan Club,
the American Legion and the Florida and American Associations of Title Men.
	In the year 1919 he married Miss HELEN E. COFFEY, of Orange, New
Jersey. They have a daughter, MURIEL ELIZABETH.
