Louis Caswold Curtis passed away Friday morning, Oct. 16, at 2:30 o'clock at the Chenango Memorial Hospital, Norwich, after a brief illness of only a few hours of a heart attack. The death of Louis C. Curtis brought a distinct loss and a great sock to our community, where he and his family had made their home for the past 22 years.

Of a family of five brothers and one sister but one is left this side of the "river." When but a child his father died, therefore he had to commence "life's battles" without a father's aid and counsel.
