Harmon and Minerva Titus

Helen wrote: I don't remember exactly when Harmon and Minerva came to SW of Bronaugh, but know it was after Grandad was born in 1876. Harmon Titus helped build the first McKill Chapel. Harmon and Minerva worked hard in the Church.

Grandmother (Delia Titus) went to the Methodist church in Bronaugh. She always enjoyed the quilting days they had there also. Grandmother was always considered a good cook. When I was a child she used to ask me down from time to time for lunch with her when they had lunches there at quilting etc.
