J. J. CURTIS, PIONEER, DIES AT WASHINGTON
Readers of The Statesman will learn with regret of the passing of John J. Curtis, 72, former Idahoan, August 24. Mr. Curtis died at Washington, D. C., where he had lived for many years.
For the past several years Mr. Curtis had been a consistent contributor to the pioneer department of The Statesman, as was at work on a series of articles of early Idaho statesmen which he had promised to have completed this summer.
The following account of his death, taken from a Washington paper, has been received through the courtesy of Addison T. Smith:
"John J. Curtis, 71, employe [sic] of the agriculture department for 35 years before his retirement two years ago, died Friday in Providence hospital. He had undergone an operation to correct a hip fracture received some time ago.
"Mr. Curtis had been active in journalistic work. A photographic presentation of government officers and buildings was compiled by him and published in January under the title "Your National Capital." It contained pictures of all members of congress as well as of the President and supreme court.
"He was a native of Idaho. E. J. Curtis, his father, was secretary of the territory after it was organized and John Curtis came to Washington as secretary to the first representative from Idaho, Willis Sweet, when the state was admitted to the Union in 1890. He later was secretary to Senator Frederick Dubois of Idaho before entering the agriculture department.
Mr. Curtis lived at 2814 Fourteenth street. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Hattie M. Curtis."
