GEN. W. B. CURTIS.
HIS DENISE At BIS RESIDENCE AT WEST
LIBERTY, YESTERDAY.
A Sketch Of the Life Of One Of Ohio Oounty's
Most Prominent 0itizsns-His Record
During the Rebellion.

General W. B. Curtis, better known
as Colonel Curtis, died at his residence
at West Liberty, this county, at three
o'clock yesterday afternoon, after an III
ness extending over considerable time.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
afternoon at two o'clock.
To say that General Curtis was one OF
the best known citizens of the Pan
Handle, would be but to state fact
patent to every one. Almost sixty years
of his long life was passed in Ohio coun-
ty, and b is activity in public affairs ana
his sple ndid war record made him known
far and wide throughout this entire sec
tion of country. His death will be
mourned by all classes of citizens, and
by none more sincerely than the survlv-
ing veterans of the war, thousands OF
whom knew and loved him.
w. b. Curtis was born at Sharpsburg,
Md, on the Antietam battle field, April
Is. 1921. He was the oldest son OF Jo-
siah and Hester Curtis. His grand
father, John Curtis, was soldier of the
Revolution, and was wounded. The
family moved to West Liberty in 1882,
and in 1888 deceased was indentured to
the late Jeremiah Clemens, under whom
he served four years at cabinet-maklng.
This business deceased followed at West
Liberty. In 1910 he connected himself
with the M. E. Church, and in 1874 was
married to Hannah NJ. Montgomery.
In the year 1S4S he entered into the
mercantile business, and was elected a
Justice, continuing to hold the office un-
I'll 1862, when he entered the army. He
was firm supporter Of the Government
ut the outbreak of the war, and was a
member of the Wheeling Convention
which reorganized the State Virginia
in 1861. August 21, 1861, he was COM
missioned Captain of a company
he had raised, and in 1862,
when call was made for
100000 men, he enlisted company,
took them to Camp Wiley, where twas
mustered into the service as Company
ID, Twelfth West Virginia. He COM
manded this company until June II,
1863, when he was promoted to Major,
and given the command of the regi-
ment. On January 26, 1864, he was
promoted to be Colonel, aud in October,
1864, he was given command of bri-
gade, consisting Of the First, Fourth
and Twelfth West Virginia regiments.
In December, 1864, the brigade was re-
organized, the First and Fourth West
Virginia withdrawing and their places
being filled with the Fifty-fourth Penn
sylvania and the Twenty-third Illinois
regiments. His brigade did hard fight
ing, and after the capture of Fort
Gregg, at Petersburg, April ?, 1865, the
Twelfth regiment was presented with a
bronze eagle. In this assault 715 Off
GERS and men were killed and wounded.
After the war, General Curtis was
elected to the House of Delegates from
this county-in 1866. He was superin-
tendent OF the penitentlary in 1S70-7l.
General Curtis was very prominent in
G.. A. r. circles, being aide TO the De-
partment Commander in 1SS7-SS, and
aide on the Grand Commanders staff in

Twenty-three members of Council,
nine in the First Branch and fourteen
in the Second, assembled at the City
Hall, last evening, for the regular SEES
sion OF that body, but for the lack oil
one more member of the lower house,
the gentlemen, after waiting for an
hour, were obliged to give up the pro-
iect of transacting business, and ad-
journed.
At half-past eight the First Branch
was in session, and the Second lacked
but one man. Several members of the
latter body went out in search OF some
one to make up q quorum. To fill in
the time the rest put Gus: Garbey Goal

calls OF "Speech!" Speech Gus
made a speech in favor of the electric
light, in a jargon composed, apparently,
of equal parts of English, German,
French and Spanish, and as he
went over the matter the First
Branch members came over in a body
and Joined in the frequent rounds OF ap-
plause. At the end Of Gus remarks
there were cries of "Emsheimer," but
the Senator was too modest to respond.
The orator was then taken over TO the
First Brance, where about fifty men
had fun with him for time, the First
Branch, which was in session, taking
an adjournment. Finally the members
scattered out, the lights were put out,
and the business awaiting settlement
will 90 over.
