Frank Curd was the son of Omer Thomas and Amelia Genevieve (Schmanski) Curd. He married Meta Schumacher 17 Apr 1920 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. They had 3 children: Lorraine; June; Muriel. Lorraine died as an infant.
It is interesting to note that on his WWI Draft Registration Card his name is "Francis Louis Curd", and he signed his name as such on the card. It is possible this was his birth name, and for whatever reason he chose to use "Frank" instead of "Francis" after that point.
Frank lived in Oshkosh his entire life. He was employed as a machinist for a lumber company. He was a veteran of WWI, a member of the VFW and the 42nd Rainbow Division. In 1934 Frank was elected President of the 42nd Rainbow Division. In 1936 Frank was chosen to be the Treasurer for the VFW state conference in Oshkosh.
If you look at Frank's Wisconsin Death Index on ancestry. com, it shows he died in Menasha, Winnebago County. His obit says he died in a doctor's waiting room, so we can assume the doctor was in Menasha. Menasha is 25 miles from Oshkosh, so it is curious as to why he would go that far to see a doctor after having a heart attack, and also why the doctor would keep him waiting. There is obviously more to this story that will never be known.

OSHKOSH PEOPLE ARE HURT IN CRASH NEAR BYRON, CAR WRECKED
Mr. and Mrs, Bernard A, Hein, 709 South Park Avenue, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Curd, 616 Twelfth Street, were occupants of a car in a collision at a railway crossing near Byron, Wis. shortly after midnight in which the four Oshkosh people escaped with minor injuries. Hein, the driver, said this morning that another automobile passed them, the driver jamming on his brakes and coming to a sudden stop at the railroad tracks, although no train was approaching. The Oshkosh man swerved to the right to avoid a head-on collision, ticking the right rear fender of the other car and plunging his heavy sedan into the ditch, where it overturned. The two couples, sustaining minor cuts and bruises, were taken to St. Agnes Hospital at Fond du Lac by a roadside garage operator before they were able to obtain names of the occupants of the other machine. The car bore Illinois license plates. The Oshkosh people left the hospital after a few hours. Their auto was a complete wreck. Mr. and Mrs. Hein and Mr. and Mrs. Curd were returning from Milwaukee.
