General Notes: Husband - Ebenezer Henry Curtis


His early education was re­ceived in the public schools of Venango County, Pennsylvania, and he subsequently attended the Franklin and Rouseville high schools. At the conclusion of his studies he became a telegraph mes­senger boy, and afterwards a clerk. At the age of seventeen he became an oil pumper, which occupation he followed for many years. He began operating in 1884, and became very successful until he now oper­ated nine wells on his own and adjoining farms. He had a farm in Salem township [Clarion County?] covering one hundred and fifty acres, and there he was also a breeder of registered Berkshire hogs, Guernsey cattle, and fine draft horses. He erected a fine barn and remodelled the dwelling house, building a summer house di­rectly over a spring. Politically Mr. Curtis was a Democrat, and he attained con­siderable local prominence, being a school di­rector and an influential member of the Lu­theran church, as well as belonging to the Or­der of the Maccabees.
