Benjamin Franklin Curtis Obituary


Death of "Uncle" Frank Curtis
From the Winston County Spotlight on September 14, 1927
Submitted by Joann Holdbrooks



We regret to announce the death of perhaps Winston County's oldest and most notable citizen. Mr. Frank Curtis, the aged father of Judge J.J. Curtis of Jasper and Judge J.S. Curtis, of Double Springs who passed away on Monday at the age of 93 and was buried on Tuesday. For the last few years, "Uncle Frank" has not been able to get around much but his smiling face and humorous talks used to be enjoyed by all who met him. He is the last of several brothers who played leading parts in the history of Winston County. He was a typical example of the hill countries of the South, hardy and independent, of pure Anglo-Saxon blood.
