Titterington, Sr., James A. (page 443), a Minnesota pioneer who passed
away a few years ago, was born in County Down, Ireland, March 12, 1842. He
came to the United States in 1859, a young man of seventeen, and first
located in New York state, where he remained two years. In 1861 he came
west to Minnesota, but soon went to Eau Claire, Wis., where he found
employment in the lumber camps for some time also working as a raftsman on
the river. In 1866 he turned his attention to farming, buying a tract of
40 acres of land, to which he added subsequently until he owned 240 acres
lying partly in Elgin Township, Wabasha County, and Viola Township,

Masonic order and belonged also to the Old Settlers' Association of Elgin.

five children, the first born of whom, Howard , is deceased. Those living

Cowles, James Titterington (Sr.) Died February 18, 1915, and his wife, who
