Curtis Family
VCOpyrIght BY Mcclure syndIcatel
BIZ FRANcIs coWLE s

There were great many families
Of Curtis, Curtiss, Corteis. Curteis and
Curtyce in England; but although the
American families Of Curtis and Cur
tiss came from England, there Is not
much known about the history OF
them before they reached this country.
Many settlers of the name reached
here before 100. One Thomas came
to Connecticut in 1889, and his de-
Bcendants still live in that state.
Richard arrived in Scituate, Mass,
with his brothers John and Thomas,
in 1910. The descendants Of these
three men live in Scituate, Hanover
and Boston, Mass. Another Curtis,
George, reached Boston that same
year. Three years later Debate came
to Braintree. Then there was q
Henry, who came to Windsor. Conn.,,
in 1916, the descendants of whose
three sons, Rowland, Samuel and Ma
thaniel, lived in Northampton, Mass,
and Coventry, Conn. Zacheus came
to Salem in 1858; and in 1871 Francis
Curtis reached Plymouth. with his
wife Hannah. He left six children
John, Benjamin. Francis. Elizabeth.
Elisha and Ebenezer. This family in
termarried with the Besse, the Bos-
worth, the West and the Pinkham
families.
In 1882 the founder of one Of the
American branches Of the family
reached Boston in the ship Lyon. His
name was William, and he came from
Nazing, Essex county England, to
join his brother-in-law, John Eliot, the
Apostle to the Indians" He had
good many children-William, Mary.
Thomas. Elizabeth, John. Philip.
Sarah, Hannah and Isaac. All Of his
sons took part in fighting against the

following order Is found: 1.-THE Court
doe order John Curtiss Of Roxbury to
be. guide to the forces now going
forth, and he is Empowered to take
six Indians from the island for his
assistance, with their armes, some OF
which Indians may be improved for
spies, as. the commander in chiefe
shall appoint"
There is record also Of Philip, the
fourth son: philip Curtis to be paid
20 shillings for killing a wolf at Mud.
dy river last winter" Later he was
sent out in command of band Of his
townsmen to rescue white captives
held by the neighboring Indians. He
was successful in the rescue, but on
the return home the band Of white
settlers were attacked and Curtis was
killed.
A romantic tale is told of Isaac Of
the next generation, a grandson Of the
William who came In the Lyon. When
he was a young man-and very
promising young mamie was one day
calling at the home Of certain Mrs.
Crafts.
"Mr. Curtis, why don't you get mar
riedY asked Mrs. Crafts, as she
rocked her baby daughter in her
cradle.
Madam" said the young man, II

he md, and when Mehitable Crafts
was grown, he married her.
Another grandson Of old William,
Joseph by name, was a transportation
pioneer Of his day. The custom then
was to carry vegetables to market in
paniers slung over the backs Of
horses; but Joseph was ahead Of his
time, and was the first man to send
HIS produce to Boston in a wagon.
he was not a participation in the
revolutionary war, but he surely did
bis part In supporting the soldiers.
After the battle of Lexington he threw
his house open to a company Of 100
soldiers, and Tor three months was
their host. When the time came for

"QUANTTTY, QUAIL
ITY AND PRICE"

THE THREE ESSENTIALS THAT
ARE GIVING WESTERN CANADA
Greater impulse Than Ever This Year.
The reports from the grain fields Of
Central Canada, (Which comprises the
Provinces Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta) are to hand. The year
1909 has not only kept pace with pre-
vlous years in proving that this por-
ton Of the Continent is capable of
producing a splendid yield of all the
smaller grains, but It has thoroughly
outstripped previous seasons. There
is quantity, quality and price and from
all parts of an area Of about 100000
square miles there comes the strong
refrain of contentment and satisfac-
ton. In the distribution of the con-
ditions causing 1t no district has been
overlooked.
Various estimates Of the total yield
Of wheat for the country have been
made, but 1t is not the vast total that
influences the general reader SO much
as what has been done individually.
The grand total-say 100 million BUSH
els-may have its effect on the grain
price of the world; It may be interest
ing to know that in the worlds mar
kets the wheat crop Of Canada has
suddenly broken upon the trading
boards, and with the Argentine, and
with Russia and India, is now fac
tor in the making Of prices. II SO to-
day, what will be its effect five or ten
years from now, when, instead Of
there being seven million acres under
crop with total yield Of 125 or 100
million bushels, there will be from II
to 80 million acres in wheat with a
yield of from 1876 to 600 million BUSH
els. When 1t is considered that the
largest yield in the United States but
slightly exceeded 700 million bushels,
the greatness of these figures may be
understood. Well, such Is safe fore
cast, for Canada has the land and 1t
has the soil. Even today the Prov
ince of Saskatchewan, one Of the three
great wheat growing provinces Of Can
ada, with 100000 acres under wheat,
produces nearly 30 million bushels, or
upwards of one-tenth of the greatest
yield of the United States. And Sas-
katchewan is yet only in the begin
ming of its development. AS Lord
Grey recently pointed out in speaking
on this very subject, this years crop
does not represent one-tenth Of the
soil equally fertile that is yet to be
brought under the plough.
Individually, reports are to hand
of yields of twenty-five, thirty and
thirty-five bushels to the acre. Scores
Of yields are reported Of forty and
some as high as sixty bushels. The
farmer, who takes care Of his soil,
who gets his seed-bed ready early, is
certain of a splendid crop.
The news Of the magnificent crop
yield throughout the Canadian West
will be pleasing to the friends Of the
thousands Of Americans who are resi-
dents in that country and WIN are
vastly instrumental in the assistance
they are rendering to let the world
know its capabilities.
