Curtin and James C. Curtin, the three surviving members of the once large family. He was born at Rolling Mill, (Curtin) in the house now occupied by Austin Curtin on January 14, 1847, being 58 years and 5 days old. Receiving a good common school education, when about fifteen years old he was sent to Lawrenceville, NJ where he completed his course. Clerking in the store at home and in a bank while in Bellefonte he, with his father, Aldoph Loeb and Jacob Thomas formed the firm Curtin's Loeb & Co., and operated the glass works in Bellefonte for some years. In 1874, his father and John Curtin, retired from the old established iron firm of R C & J. The new firm of Curtin & Co., was formed with Constance Curtin, Austin Curtin, James B. Curtin, Andrew Gregg Curtin Jr., H.R. Curtin and J.G. Curtin as partners, which continued with several changes until some time in 1890, when Andrew left for Philadelphia to engage with the large iron commission firm of L. & R. Wister. He remained with that firm until about 1900, when he, the Wister's and others, started the Bristol rolling mills, running them for some years, Andrew being the general superintendent. After their close, he and his son became iron brokers with an office in New York and one in Philadelphia.
