CURTIS
Seeking information on John Henry CURTIS b. Jun 23, 1853; wife Elizabeth A. Pearson b. July 1852; CH: Fred Pearson Curtis born Aug 7,1885. I find the family in the 1900 and 1910 Rockland Twp, Ontonagon C., Michigan Census. In 1920 Fred is listed with a family but neither of his parents appear in that census. I have been told that both John Henry and Elizabeth are buried in Rockland Twp. I am assuming they died between 1910 and 1920. I would appreciate any help in finding the site of their burial and obituaries, if possible. Linda Herman   (posted October 4, 2000)
