  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Titus 
  honourable,  was  with  Paul  and  Barnabas  at  Antioch,  and 
  accompanied  them  to  the  council  at  Jerusalem  (Gal.  2:1-3;  Acts 
  15:2),  although  his  name  nowhere  occurs  in  the  Acts  of  the 
  Apostles.  He  appears  to  have  been  a  Gentile,  and  to  have  been 
  chiefly  engaged  in  ministering  to  Gentiles;  for  Paul  sternly 
  refused  to  have  him  circumcised,  inasmuch  as  in  his  case  the 
  cause  of  gospel  liberty  was  at  stake.  We  find  him  at  a  later 
  period,  with  Paul  and  Timothy  at  Ephesus,  whence  he  was  sent  by 
  Paul  to  Corinth  for  the  purpose  of  getting  the  contributions  of 
  the  church  there  in  behalf  of  the  poor  saints  at  Jerusalem  sent 
  forward  (2  Cor.  8:6;  12:18).  He  rejoined  the  apostle  when  he  was 
  in  Macedonia,  and  cheered  him  with  the  tidings  he  brought  from 
  Corinth  (7:6-15).  After  this  his  name  is  not  mentioned  till 
  after  Paul's  first  imprisonment,  when  we  find  him  engaged  in  the 
  organization  of  the  church  in  Crete,  where  the  apostle  had  left 
  him  for  this  purpose  (Titus  1:5).  The  last  notice  of  him  is  in  2 
  Tim.  4:10,  where  we  find  him  with  Paul  at  Rome  during  his  second 
  imprisonment.  From  Rome  he  was  sent  into  Dalmatia,  no  doubt  on 
  some  important  missionary  errand.  We  have  no  record  of  his 
  death.  He  is  not  mentioned  in  the  Acts
