SOME FACTS CONCERNING THE HISTORY OE
AN ENTERPRISING MAINE MAN.

Jeremiah Curtis.
SOME FACTS CONCERNING THE HISTORY OE
AN ENTERPRISINCi MAINE MAN.
The late jeremiah Curtis, whose death was
briefly mentioned last week, deserves a more
extended notice. He was possessed of qualities
which would have ensured his success in any
business or profession. Starting as poor bov
and encountering the usual vcisstudes of mer-
chantile life, he lived to attain great wealth.
We were in error iii giving Freedom AS his
birthplace He was native of Hampden. And
the newspapers generally have been wrong in
stating that he was once the Prohibitory candi-
date for Governor of Maine. He was the Lib
erty or Abolition candidate in 1871, receiving
1862 votes. John Fairfield was the Democratic
candidate and Edward Kent the Wing candi-
date. Mr.. Curtis was not only one of the early
abotionists, but pronounced temperance man
as well, in days when temperance advocates
We're few and far between.
When quite young man Mr. Curtis went
from Ilampden to Freedom in this county.
where in connection with Thomas Pickard, of
Belfast. he engaged il business, and was very
successful. Many of our older citizens remem-
Der Mr.. Curtis at this time and recall his enter
prise ana activity. At the time of the great land
ptcuIation III Maine, Mr.. Curtis removed to
CALAIS and with ms brother-n-law, Mr.. Rich
ards went INTO the lumber business, the firm
being jeremiah Curtis 4 Co. As before said.
Mr.. Curtis was q strong abolitionst and while
living in Calais he created quite sensation by
entertaining at his house Fred Douglass, who
but short time before had made his escape
from slavery The pa>toro the Baptist church
of which Mr.. Curtis was q member, was pro-
slavery man. and a commoton was created
which ended in tbs pastors seeking pulpit
elsewhere. Nj. Curtis was also the prime
moycr in building At Calais what is believed to
have been the first temperance hotel erected il

any support from temperance advocates. Aside
from the matter Of expense il is sure to cause
