Guardian obituary

Titcomb jewelry

Barbara purchased a box of some old jewelry and to her surprise found 2 identical gold rectangular early victorian pins (not mourning jewelry but "affection" pins)  with blondish hair braided in each.
On the back of one it says, P Titcomb from her sister Emmeline and the other says E Titcomb from her sister Priscilla.  These 2 names coincide with the daughters of Paul Titcomb, son of General Titcomb  The pin says Emmeline but the Sewell geneology says Emeline..an engravers mistake?
Does anyone  know anything about these 2 sisters or can anyone provide any more information?

Frederick James Kealiimahiai Titcomb

Frederick James Kealiimahiai Titcomb, a retired District Court judge and former Honolulu deputy prosecuting attorney, died Friday, March 10, 2000 in Honolulu. He was 77. Born in Honolulu, Titcomb was a descendant of early U.S. settlers. He also was of Hawaiian and Chinese ancestry and his great-great-grandfather, sugar plantation owner Charles Titcomb, married into Hawaiian royalty. Frederick Titcomb graduated from St. Louis High School and was a student at Washington State College when the United States entered World War II in 1941. He dropped out of college to enlist in the Army and served in New Guinea and the Philippines. Titcomb earned a Purple Heart and two Bronze Star medals for his combat service. After the war, he returned to Washington State College and then attended Cornell University. He married, and he and his first wife, Norma, returned to Hawaii. The couple would later divorce. The family moved to San Francisco in 1953 so Titcomb could pursue a legal education at the University of California’s Hastings College of Law. To put himself through school and to support his family, Titcomb worked as a warehouseman, trucker, door-to-door salesman and night janitor at Hastings. After graduating, he returned to Hawaii and worked as a law clerk for Judge Jon Wiig. In 1956, he went to work as a city prosecutor, where he won more than 40 consecutive jury convictions. In 1960, Titcomb ran as a Republican against Dan Inouye for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Inouye won by a nearly 3-to-1 vote and two years later was elected to the Senate. In 1962, Titcomb was named a Honolulu District Court judge. In addition to practicing law, Titcomb was a member of the Screen Actor’s Guild and was frequently seen on "Hawaii Five-0." In 1983, Titcomb married Marcia Vander Zicht, who was his nurse after open-heart surgery.

John Titcombe jewellery

John Titcombe trained at the 200 year Birmingham School of Jewellery and Silversmith. Upon finishing his training he joined a small firm in Bath managing their workshop at 19. After a decade he decided to start his own manufacturing company based in his home city of Birmingham, on Vyse Street in the heart of the 'Jewellery Quarter' trading under the name of Anvers. The inspiration of this name came from the many trips John had made to Antwerp, the diamond capital of the world. Anvers is 'Flemish' for Antwerp.
