The following is from the records of Westbury Meeting 1715. "Edmund Titus one that receiveth ye truth many years since and lived and dyed in it, in his latter days his eyes grew dim that he could not see and thick of hearing all of which he bore very patiently - in the time of his last sickness his daughter Pheby Field standing by him he said "My life is in Christ my God," with more comfortable words - his last words were these, "I have put away all filthiness and superfluity of haughtiness I have received with meekness ye engrafted word that is able to save the soul" and soon departed this life in a quiet frame of spirit, sensible to the last - the 7th 2nd month:, 1715 age 85 years."
