History of the Lake Huron Shore
H. R. Page & Co., - 1883

        [277]

           E. D. CURTIS, of Curtis Township, Alcona County, is one of the
        early comers to the Lake Huron Shore. In 1867 MR. CURTIS came to
        Saginaw from Maine, his native State. He was on his way north, and
        arrived there too late for the steamboat. Not wishing to wait for
        the next trip of the steamboat, he bought a small skiff, and using
        a United States blanket for a sail, started out upon a voyage to
        Au Sable. His father was a sea captain, and the son had inherited
        some notions of sailing from him. After a three days voyage he
        reached Au Sable.  He was in pursuit of pine and farming lands,
        and located some the following Winter. He engaged in lumbering,
        which he has followed ever since. About 1870 he began farming on
        some land he had in Alcona County, having brought his family there
        in 1869. In 1881 the township of Curtis was organized and named
        after him. He has a wife and six children.  MR. CURTIS in an
        enterprising man, and has been successful in his operations both
        at farming and lumbering.
