Archie was the youngest son of Rev. A.N. Curtis (1864-1893) and Sallie F. Cagle (1870-1965). He married Elva May Roberts of Louisville, MS. in 1914. They would have one daughter, Louise Nash Curtis.
Archie died from "Bright's Disease" at the age of 26, in 1919. He is buried near his grandparents, Charles and Margrett Elvira Richardson Cagle, in the Masonic Cemetery in Louisville, MS. He was remembered by his family as being a kind-hearted and congenial man, having taken after his father.

His obituary appeared in a Louisville, Mississippi publication (" Winston County Journal") in 1919:


"Archie Curtis Dies;

It is with profound sorrow that we chronicle the death of Archie Curtis, who died at Rush Infirmary in Meridian on January 11th, 1919. His remains were brought here and interred in the Masonic cemetery, after funeral services were conducted at the Methodist church by Pastor Carlisle, and Rev. Willis, White and Cody. He was twenty-six years of age, and was the only son of the late Rev. Nash Curtis. Archie was a very deserving boy, having lost his father at an early age, he was deprived of the many advantages that a father's care guarantee's a son.
He was married a few years ago to Miss Elva Mae Robert's, one of the towns most worthy young ladies, and unto them was born a sweet baby girl, whom, with a devoted wife, he leaves to mourn his death. He also leaves to mourn his death a devoted mother, Mrs. Sallie Crafton; two sisters, Mrs. Letha Weatherford of Meridian, and Mrs. Mary Cade of Gulfport, Miss.
Archie spent a few months last summer in Texas, at which time he was bitten by some kind of an insect, which so poisoned his system that he was unable to do anything for some time. Recently, he suffered a spell of Bright's disease developed from the same. He was carried to Rush Infirmary for treatment, but to no avail, and death resulted as above stated.
To the heartbroken widow and other relatives, we extend deep sympathy in their hour of trouble."
