James Wylie married Jeannette Curtis. She was the sister of William Curtis, the legendary Michigan banker. Mr. Curtis, among his many accomplishments, founded the First National Bank in Petoskey. James was his partner in banks that preceded First National.
In addition, Jeannette’s husband was one of Petoskey’s Village President’s. The following is an excerpt from Greenwood Cemeteries Historical Accounts written by Superintendent Karl Crawford;
"Mary Curtis returned to Petoskey in 1880 with her sister-in-law and her father-in-law who was eager that the two women and their families might consider making Petoskey their home. In 1882, nine years after this first visit to the area, Mr. Curtis, his wife Mary and their three children moved to Petoskey. With some financial help from his father, Mr. Curtis and his brother-in-law, James Wylie, bought out Thomas Quinlan in the local bank and began his long career as a banker. Wachtel and Quinlan became Curtis, Wachtel, and Wylie, Private Bankers. Several years later, Mr. Curtis organized the Petoskey City Bank, which later became the First National Bank of Petoskey.”
