Waverly Journal, Jan. 23, 1903
Winthrop Curtiss, the second son of Cyrus D. and Laura Fry Curtiss, was born near Waverly, Ill., Jan. 20, 1862 and died at San Antonio, Tex., Jan. 16, 1903, being nearly 41 years old. When he was less than a year-old his father enlisted in the Union army and served nearly three years, when his health failed and he died just as peace was declared. In five years the mother died and Winthrop went to live with an uncle near Jacksonville, Ill. At the age of eleven, his uncle having died, he came to live with his uncle Ralph Curtis. He went to school in Waverly until he went to Oberlin Ohio. Afterward he was engaged in teaching in Maryville, Mo., Glenwood Iowa, Denver Colorado. Later he was county superintendent of school in Colorado and conducted a business college in Greeley Colorado. While in Colorado he was married to Miss Dora Rickey of Clarenda Iowa, who lived only about two years after their marriage. After spending some time in Oklahoma he returned to his old home in Waverly. He was married to Miss Ida McCasland who was well known in this community as a true earnest woman, wife and mother. Their six years of married life were spent in Ocean Springs, Miss. The 17th of Nov. 1902 she was called home and left husband and two children. Mr. Curtiss had been in poor health for some time and after his wife's death he went to San Antonio Texas hoping the change might be beneficial but to no avail. He was released from suffering Jan. 16, 1903.
The body arrived in this city last Sunday evening and was immediately taken to the home of his brother, Chas. Curtiss where the funeral was held the following day (Monday) and was conducted by the Rev. W. S. Bugbey of the Congregational church. Mr. Bugbey addressed the many sorrowing friends and relatives from the text referring to "Victory over death" and made quite a number of appropriate and comforting remarks. The body was laid to rest in East Cemetery. Mr. Curtiss was quite well known in this community and the two orphan children which are left in the care of tender and loving relatives have the deepest sympathies of a host of friends and relatives. The boy is about six years old and the little girl about three.
