'''CLEM TITUS JIG'''. AKA and see "[[Peggy Whiffle's]]," "[[Ratcatchers Reel]]," "[[Evansville (2)]]," "[[Wide Awake Reel]]." Appears in Hans Nathan's collection. Clem Titus's name appears in '''Ryan's Mammoth Collection''' (1883), where a few tunes are attributed to him. There is very little information about Titus, but he and another Howe contributor, Zeke Backus, are mentioned in Col. Thomas Allston Brown's articles in the '''New York Clipper''' (22 June 1889) and his volume '''A History of the New York Stage''', vol. 1 (1903, pp. 361-362), in an entry detailing "White's Melodeon", "the first cheap theater" in New York. It opened in 1846 at 53 Bowery, burned om 1847, was rebuilt, and burned a second time in 1849, after which a five story house was erected on the site.

Titus died in Apalachacola (presumably Apalachicola, Florida, near Tallahassee) sometime before September, 1862, when his name appears in a list of deceased minstrel performs in the '''New York Clipper''' (6 September 1862). See also Dan Emmett's "[[Clem Titus Jig]]."
