unmarried, a member of the F. S. Love Manufacturing Company of Johnstown. 4. Russell C., at home, unmarried. 5. Myra N., at home, unmarried.     Joseph Kirk Love, born on a farm, October 31, 1867, in Butler county, Pennsylvania, was educated at the public schools and spent several years at Westminster College, taking a scientific course. In 1882, when his father moved to Somerset, Mr. Love engaged in the dairy business with him, for five or six years, then went on the road, as a salesman for Allen, Kirkpatrick & Company, wholesale grocers, of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. After one year he abandoned the road, by resigning, and in 1901 the present business of Love, Sunshine & Company was incorporated. Mr. Love is the president, F. S. Love, his brother, vice-president, and William H. Sunshine, the present treasurer of Cambria county, the treasurer, with W. H. Sanner as secretary. They carry on a wholesale grocery business, which, while small at first, has developed into one of considerable magnitude. They supply the trade for a radius of about fifty miles around Johnstown, employ eight traveling salesmen, besides a number of special salesmen not confined to the territory already named.     Mr. Love is a stockholder in the Union National Bank; former stockholder in the United States National Bank and the Conemaugh Powder Company; a stockholder in the Wilmerding (Pennsylvania): National Bank; the F. S. Love Manufacturing Company of Johnstown; the Bessemer Coal & Coke Co. of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania; treasurer of the People's Garbage & Fertilizer Co. of Johnstown; president of the Inter-State Fair Association; and has other business interests. Politically he is a staunch Republican. He is a worthy member of the Presbyterian church, and has been a member of the Brotherhood of Elks ever since its organization at Johnstown.     Mr. Love married, April 23, 1895, Sarah Elizabeth, daughter of Richard and Catherine (Evans) Jennings, of Queenstown, Pennsylvania. Their children are: 1. Jennings Kirk, born May 2, 1897. 2. George Hutchinson, born September 4, 1900.     JOHN W. TITTLE, chief draughtsman of the Gautier department of Cambria Steel Company, Johnstown, Pennsylvania, is a descendant of some of the oldest families of the state, and among his ancestors were soldiers of the French and Indian wars, the Revolution, Pontiac's war, and of the late Civil war. The daughter of one of his ancestors became the mother of one of the most distinguished men of Pennsylvania--William Freame Johnston, governor of the commonwealth from 1847 to 1853.     In the paternal line Mr. Tittle traces his ancestry back through several generations to Peter Tittle, of Westmoreland county, whose settlement in that part of the state was made about the year 1760. But Peter Tittle's son James married Ann Freame, who was a daughter of William and Elizabeth (Johnston) Freame, and Elizabeth Johnston was a daughter of James Johnston, of county Derry, Ireland, who immigrated to America about the year 1750, and with whom, therefore, this narrative properly begins. Previous to about the middle of the eighteenth century James Johnston was a farmer on leased land in county Derry, Ireland, on the river Derg. His lease of the land expired about 1750, and in the same year he left Ireland with his wife and two sons--Edward and Christie--and one daughter, Elizabeth. They landed at Baltimore, and from there are believed to have gone direct to the
