Dr. John Lackland Curtis was the son of Newman Curtis (1797-1859) and Maria Van Bergen Curtis (1799-1878). The Curtis family came from Shelby, Orleans County, New York, before moving to Iowa where they farmed in Bremer and Independence counties. The family is well documented.

He studied in the medical office of Dr. Frost in Millville, New York for several years, then graduated from the Philadelphia Medical College in 1855. He settled in Elba, NY for a few years, then moved to Batavia, NY. He had offices in Buffalo and Rochester, NY. He was engaged in the manufacture of proprietary medicines as a compounder. He was a trustee of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Batavia, NY.

He was married to Lucy Cram (daughter of Hewitt G. and Sarah Taylor) Cram on Sept. 2, 1855 in New York. They had four children: Bellanora (died at 2 months), Cora Belle (Raines), Franklin H. (died at one year old), and John L. (died at age 15). Dr. Curtis died at age 50. His wife, Lucy, moved to Iowa, where most of the Curtis family had moved to, and married his brother Lyman.
