The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, March 25, 1909
The funeral of LOT CURTIS was held in the Baptist Church, last Friday, at
1:00 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Hugh Moore, his pastor. A large
congregation of friends and relatives assembled to pay a farewell tribute,
whose life to them was so well known and whose character was of such to
command universal esteem. During the days of his activity he was one of the
prominent actors in the affairs of Lucas County and his passing impresses
again that this is but a transitory existence and generations follow closely
upon each other, in temporal efforts.
LOT CURTIS was born August 24, 1823, in Belmont County, Ohio, and was
married to MARY CHYNAWITH in July, 1844. Nine children were born to them,
seven surviving him: W.T. CURTIS, Russell; MRS. M.A. SCOVIL, Humeston; *JOH E, C.B., F.B., A.C. and J.N., of Chariton.
In September, 1860 they removed from Ohio to Iowa, settling in Lucas County.
His wife died Sept. 10, 1863. He was married to MARY E. SCOVIL, April 16,
1903, who survives him. He united with the Baptist Church when a young man
and at the time of his death was a faithful member of the First Baptist
Church of Chariton. His brother, THOMAS, of Warren Township, survives him
but is of an advanced age and very feeble.
