Obituary--Linn B. Curtis

Norwich Sun, October 25, 1918

Linn B. Curtis was born in the town of New Berlin [Chenango Co., NY], on February 12, 1879, and passed into rest at his home in Plasterville on Thursday, Oct. 24, 1918.  The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon, the Rev. R.L. Clark of Norwich officiating. Burial will be made in Mt. Hope cemetery [Norwich, NY].  Linn B. Curtis was one of Chenango county's best known agriculturists.  Practically all of his life was spent in this locality, where his death will be deeply felt, not only by the immediate family, but by a large circle of friends, all of whom mourn the untimely passing of one who was still in the prime of life.  On march 11, 1903 he was united in marriage to Lilla M. Lyon, who survives him.  He was a quiet, home-loving man, and while he had time for many charitable and political enterprises, it was in his home that his chief interests centered.  He had served the town of North Norwich as supervisor, and also as a collector.  He was public spirited and always willing to give of his time and labor in any undertaking for the benefit of the community.  Mr. Curtis was a member of the Maccabees, and of the I.O.O.F.  He also belonged to Galena grange and Pomona grange.  In both of the latter he was a very prominent member, and deeply interested in the agricultural pursuits throughout the county.  In his passing, the town of North Norwich, and the county of Chenango lose a splendid citizen, a man of high principle and noble example.  Besides his widow, he is survived by his mother, Mrs. Byron Gale of Norwich, two brothers, Grove Curtis of Wood's Corners and Glenn Curtis of Norwich, and one sister, Mrs. Howard Christian, also of Norwich.
