Curtis Cemetery is home to such notable township settlers as William and Susanna Arnold, Ezra Burgess, Hiram Andrews, and Jeremiah Curtis, a veteran of the War of 1812. Besides hosting 126 memorials, Curtis Cemetery is home to the official Shelby Township tree, a 250-year-old white oak. The Historical Committee selected the white oak as the official township tree because of its age, size and the protection afforded to it by its historical surroundings. The oldest marker in the cemetery belongs to Isaac Stringham, who died March 15, 1819, at 10-years-old. The last burial in Curtis Cemetery took place in 1931 as William Cundy was laid to rest at 98. Cundy was a relative of William Arnold, who, with his wife Susanna, was among the few Shelby Township settlers born before the United States of America's founding.
