Titus, Stephen B., was born on the homestead in the town of Irondequoit, January 22, 1849. He was educated in the public schools and has been a market gardener all his life. His father, George W. Titus, was born in Canada in 1820, and the family came to the United States in 1823, locating near Scottsville where he was educated in the public schools, and in 1834 they moved to the town of Irondequoit.

old, settling first in Buffalo, and in 1835 in Rochester. He attended No. 14 school in the latter city, then only a one room building on the corner of East Main and Scio streets, which gradually grew to a three room building before the move to a larger building and site on Scio street, with Mr. Vosburgh as principal, who held this posi- tion many long years. After school days he drifted into the printer's trade; was employed on the Daily American, under Lee, Mann & Co., later the Jerome Bros., of New York fame later on, also with A. Strong & Co., at the time of the burning of the Eagle Bank block, which wiped out their office completety, leaving nothing but the name of the paper for stock in trade. This led to the consolidation of the Dem- ocrat and American into one paper. Being imbued with a military spirit he became a member of the Rochester Life Guards, under Captain Fairchild, and served in the grades of non-commissioned officer until the breaking out of the civil war and the formation of the 54th Regt. N. Y. S. M., when he was elected captain of Co. H, and served as such until the call for 300,000 men in 1882, when the officers of Co. H tendered their services to the War Committee to raise a company for the Monroe county regiment, which afterwards became the 108th N. Y. Vols., Col. O. H. Palmer. In recruiting for this company a then novel idea was adopted for the first time, of putting up tents in front of the court- house for this purpose, which proved a perfect success, and was followed by others for years afterwards. As captain, Mr. Cramer and his men were mustered into ser- vice, August 16, 1862, as Co. D, 108th N. Y. Vols., at Camp Porter, near the rapids on the Genesee River. On the 19th they left Rochester for Washington by way of New York city; arriving there they were quartered at the Park Barracks, the site of the present post-office building. Here they received their guns and equipments and had their first drill under arms. While here Chester Dewey and other Rochesterians tendered the officers a banquet at the Astor House. Arriving at Washington, they went into camp at Fort Albany on the Virginia side, and two days later were trans- ferred to Fort Corcoran, opposite Georgetown, and assigned to duty in the forts on that line. The second battle of Bull Run and Lee's invasion into Maryland changed the tide of affairs here, and they were ordered to join the army under General Mc- Clellan at Rockville, Md., where they were assigned to French's Division, Second Army Corps, and moved with the Army of the Potomac towards South Mountain, thence to Sharpsburg, and participated in the battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862. Their position here was directly in front of the renowned "Bloody Lane " on the Roulette farm. Moving afterwards to Harper's Ferry, they camped at Bolivar Heights, and thence followed the fortunes of the Army of the Potomac through the battles of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg and back into Virginia. At Warrenton Captain Cramer was taken ill, and, with three officers and six men, was sent to Elmira, where he remained in draft service, and as acting quartermaster of the rebel prison on its opening there; also, in command of the barracks and other positions while there until the war closed and his regiment was mustered out. Re- turning to Rochester in 1865, and putting in a few months at his old home, he took the "oil fever" and spent one year in the oil regions in Pennsylvania in various pursuits. Returning to Rochester in 1866, he engaged in the manufacture of paper flour sacks, which at that time was an entirely new business. At first he met with much opposition, but persevered until he saw them come into universal use. To this he has added other lines-grain bags, paper bags of all kinds, manilla paper, etc.

His church has a membership of over three hundred, great activity prevailing in all its departments of work. He is an entirely self-made man. Some years ago he received several honorary degrees in recognition of special attainments, and in 1895 received the degree of Ph. D.

Weston, John Porter, was born in Youngstown, Niagara county, New York, Octo_ ber 25, 1854. His parents were of New England origin, and have always taken an active part in national and State affairs, as the following testifies. Mr. Weston is the eldest son of the late Sidney Owen and Evaline Hill Weston. Upon the out- break of the war in 1861 Mr. Weston's father enlisted in Co. F, 151st Regiment, New York Volunteers, Colonel Emerson commanding, serving as sergeant (afterward being promoted to lieutenant) throughout the war, passing through some of the most exciting battles. His grandfather, William Andrews Weston, was in the war of 1812, and six brothers of his great-grandfather's family were in the war of the Revo- lution. Edmund Weston, the progenitor of this branch of the family, who settled in Plymouth colony, came to Boston in the ship Elizabeth and Ann in the year 1635. In 1640 he had a grant from the colony of four acres of land at Stony Brook, Dux- bury, and a tract of land near Green Harbor. From this time his name frequently appears in connection with town affairs and in various public matters. Mr. Weston received his education in his native county. His first venture was buying and shipping the famous Niagara county fruit to Canadian ports. The years 1872 and 1873 were spent in Michigan and the West. In 1878 he entered the employ of E. & B. Holmes, lumbermen of Buffalo, and on Marck 6, 1881, came to Rochester, when he engaged in the manufacture of ladies' hats under the firm name of Whiting & Weston, afterwards changed to Weston & McDonald. In 1885 he accepted a position in the office of the late Henry S. Hebard, and upon the latter's death, March 11,

1890, he purchased the business, which was established by Zebulon Hebard, father of Henry S., in 1831. It is the oldest establishment of the kind in Western New York and has continued in the family for more than sixty-four years.
