"Marcus DeLafayette Curl, one of Linn County's most prominent as well as worthy citizens, died at his home near this city this morning of paralysis, after a short illness, at the age of 66 years, and his death regretted and lamented by a large circle of friends.
Mr. Curl was one of the county's earliest pioneers, coming here from Missouri in 1847, residing for many years in the Forks. A few weeks ago he moved to near this city, where he has since resided. In 1896 he was elected county commissioner and served the county faithfully for four years. He was an old member of St. John's A.F. and A.M., under those auspices he will be buried in the Masonic Cemetery.
He leaves four children, Mrs. Ed. M. Burkhart, of near Albany, Mrs. Joe Tryon, Mrs. Wallace Grover of Ilwaco, and George Curl, now at home. The funeral service will take place tomorrow at 10 a.m. to which all friends are invited." ---- Albany Democrat, August 31, 1900

Demarcus Lafayette Curl was a son of James (1798-1863) and Anna Maria (Elliott) Curl (1805-1862), Oregon Pioneers.
He was born in Cole County, Missouri, on May 8, 1834, one of seven children born prior to 1847. They all came to the Oregon Territory, crossing the Oregon Trail in 1847 and settling in the mid section of Linn County, Oregon Territory. Two more children were born after the family had settled on their donation land claim near the John and Melinda Crabtree family, where Newton Curl, age 14, was also staying when the 1850 Census was taken on Sep 21, 1850. Also, when the 1850 Census was taken, the following were listed in the James and Anna Curl home:
James, age 52,
Wife, Anna, 45,
son, John, 18,
son, Lemarcus, 16,
daughter, Martha, 14, md. Moorehead
son, Cornelius G.,12,
son, Thomas Benton, 9,
daughter, Mary E., 7, md. Dougherty
daughter, Amanda Evaline, 5, md. Powell,
son, James Miller, age 1, and
daughter, Sarah, age 12.
No land values were listed with this census.
Demarcus's parents died within a year of each other (Anna Maria Curl died May 3d, 1862 and James Curl died Jan 7th, 1863) and were buried at Providence Cemetery, Scio, Linn Co., Oregon. He and his brothers, Cornelius, and Caleb, had been farming their own land claims by 1860 in the Lebanon area of Linn County.
When the 1860 Census was taken (on Sep 4, 1860), James and Ann Curl's donation land claim, now listed as a part of Lebanon, Linn County, was valued at $5,800 with cash assets totalling $4,830. [After many years of improvements, the property had increased in value exponentially]. Sons Thomas, 19, James, 11, and Samuel, 9, were still in the home as of Sep 3, 1860. Demarcus, now 26, was also living in Lebanon, Linn County, on his own land. He was a Farmer with property valued at $1,065 and cash assets of $725. His brother, Cornelius, age 21, and a school teacher, lived with him and his portion of the property was valued at $1,240 with cash assets of $500. Adjacent to their donation land claims was their brother, Caleb W. Curl, his wife, Margaret, 29, and their five young children. Caleb was a Farmer and their land was valued at $3,200 with cash assets of $1,433 [Caleb was married so had twice the land that his single brothers had.]
The following year, 1861, Demarcus married Lucy Virginia Shelton, who had driven one of three wagons that had carried 9 of her 11 brothers and sisters from Missouri to Oregon via the Oregon Trail in 1847. The happy couple was blessed with seven children, by 1900, but, also, by 1900, only three were still living, according to the 1900 Census, taken on June 27, 1900, when an elder "Daniel", as he was also known, and Lucy were living in the Price District, not far from Albany, Linn Co., Oregon, still farming the land, but I digress.
I was finally able to locate the census for 1870 (taken Sep 16, 1870), listed under "Demorow Carl" (honest!), when they were living in Scio, Linn Co., Oregon. It shows that Demarcus, age, 36, was a Farmer with land valued at $3,000 and cash assets valued at $1,510. In addition to Lucy, age 32, were Minervah R. (Rebecca), age 8, Priscilla, age 5, and Mary S.(Salena), age 2.
In the 1880 Census (taken Jun 14 & 15, 1880), Demarcus and Lucy Curl were still living in Scio with four children: Minerva B.["Becky"], b.1862, (who married Edwin Milton Burkhart), Salena M.[Mary] "Lena", b.1867, (who would marry Joseph Tryon), Samantha E.[Ellen], b.1874, (who would marry Wallace Glover) and George E., b.1877 (who would married Ivy Mae Hughes; they had at least two children and lived in Portland until Ivy died in 1909 and George died in 1911. Both George and Ivy are buried at River View Cemetery in Portland.). Anna Priscilla had died in 1873 and had been buried at Jordan Cemetery, Jordan, Linn Co., Oregon.
I've learned that there was indeed an 1890 Census, but that the building housing the records burned down.
When the 1900 Census was taken June 27, 1900, Daniel, now 67, and Lucy, now 63, were living in Price, a suburb South of Albany, Linn Co., Oregon. He stated he was still a Farmer. Adjacent to their farm were Edwin Milton and Minerva Rebecca (Curl) Burkhart and their five children, including a new born son, married for 39 years and still farming their land. Two months and two days after the census was taken, Demarcus "Daniel" Lafayette Curl died. His beloved Lucy died June 1st, 1906 and was buried next to her husband at the Masonic Cemetery, Albany, Linn County, Oregon. May they all Rest in Peace together in Paradise.
