Mill Operator
Leforest
Titcomb was born in Exeter, Maine
and his wife, Rose
Dearborn was born in Detroit, ME; at one point they resided
in Pittsfield, ME. LeForest's
parents were Nathan and Clarissa D. Claverly Titcomb. Rose or Rosina Dearborn
parents were John B. and Betsy Randa Click Here For: DEARBORN Lineage Mertie Titcomb was born in Pittsfield Maine about 1880. She married Albert Rudolf Bennett on October 29, 1898 in Pittsfield. First marriage for each. Intention filed 10/11/1898. Married before Rev. A. E. Luce of Pittsfield, Clergyman. Albert, a laborer, was born approximately one year before Mertie, in 1879 in Guilford Maine. Their residence was in Bucksport ME.
Charles Bennett remained in Maine to marry, Esther Beach Eaton. Charles and Esther's daughter Marjorie Bennett never knew her grandmother Myrtie but wrote to her and to a cousin Julia Wynne in Eureka Springs, California. Julia, her brothers Albert and Walter Wynne, and her mother and father Vera Bennett and Walter P. Wynne never returned to Maine from California. Norman was the “much younger brother” of Charles Albert Bennett. When she was young, Marjorie Bennett did meet and visit her elderly great grandmother, Rose Titcomb, in Stockton Springs, Maine. Leforest Titcomb was diabetic, lost the circulation in his foot which was amputated; the amputation killed him. Marjorie Bennett's father, Charles Bennett, was born in Pittsfield Maine, and was vastly interested in hunting and fishing – he “lived for this!” Charles worked for the Maine Seaboard Paper Company as a crane operator and lived in several different locations over his lifetime including Orland, Searsport and Bucksport, Maine. He retired from the paper company following an injury. Charles was married also to Anna Layton (2nd wife) and Margaret "Peg" Swett.(3rd wife).
CENSUS INFORMATION 1870 CENSUS Exeter, Penobscot County ME, taken on June 30, 1870. At this point "LaForest" S. Titcomb is 16 or 17 years old and living with his parents and siblings in Exeter, Maine. His parents are Nathan and Clara (Clarrisa) Titcomb, ages 48 and 39 respectively. It appears from the census that Clara was born in NH, but all the rest in Maine. Nathan is a farmer. The children are Lauren (Lorren, Lorin) at 21 and a farm laborer; John Hamilton who is 19 and a farm laborer; LaForest who is 17 and farms; Frank L who is 12 and farms and Flora who is 9. They own their farm valued at $1000. Living next door is Nathan's brother's family, Sumner and Sarah Knowles Titcomb, and their children, Dora, age 13; Sumner Jr., age 9 and Richard L. age 1. They own their farm valued at $3000. And living in the next house is another of Nathan's brothers, Jeremiah
Titcomb. Jeremiah, Jr. and his wife, Susan Wiley Titcomb.
Jeremiah, Jr. is a farm laborer who evidently does not own the property he
farms. The son living with them is "Wesley" who is 14.
1880 CENSUS Exeter, ME, taken on June 9, 1880. Rose and "Forest" Titcomb are newly married (21 Sep 1879). LeForest is 26 and Rose is 17. He farms, as does Henry Dearborn with whom the young couple are living. Henry is the "Grandfather?" of Rose; Celinda is Henry's wife; and they are in their 70s. 1900 CENSUS: LaForest and Rose are not living in Exeter. 1910 CENSUS Pittsfield, ME, on
Middle Street, taken on April 22, 1910. 1920 CENSUS Stockton Springs, ME, on East Main Street, taken on January 3, 1920. Rosina and LaForest are 64 and 57, respectively, and have moved to Stockton Springs, near Searsport. On this census, Rosina is listed as born in Michigan to Maine-born parents. This is unlikely. LaForest is working as a "common laborer" and Rosina is not working. Living next door to them is the Wynne Family. Vera Bennett Wynne is the granddaughter of LaForest and Rosina Titcomb and the daughter of Mertie Titcomb and her husband, Albert Rudolf Bennett. Vera is married to Walter Patrick Wynne who was born 10 Mar 1892 in Ireland. Vera was born 25 May 1902 in Pittsfield ME. They have one son at this point, Walter, Jr., an infant.
1930 CENSUS Stockton Springs, ME, on East Main Street, taken on April 11, 1930. LaForest is now 76 and owns their home worth $3000. Rose is 66. They have two boarders living with them. It is interesting that LaForest married Rose at 24, and Rose married LaForest at 17...a 7 year difference, but now in their senior years, she is 10 years younger! They were each born in Maine to parents born in Maine. LaForest no longer is employed; but his wife Rose is a Seamstress working out of their home.
