Burt Curtis is engaged in the cultivation of a farm of four hundred acres on section 32, Jackson Township. He leases his land but owns a forty acre tract in Butler Township. His farming activities are carried on extensively and his practical methods and sound business judgment are manifest in the success which is attending his labors.
New York claims him as a native son, his birth having occurred in Onondaga County, December 14, 1871. He was but four months old when, on the 4th of April, 1872, he was brought by his grandparents, Japhet and Sarah Ann (Taylor) Curtis, to Butler County and they took up their abode near Clarksville, where the grandfather died in 1879. His widow long survived, however, and passed away in 1906.
Burt Curtis was trained to habits of industry, economy and perseverance. His educational opportunities were those afforded by the public schools and in the school of experience he has learned many valuable lessons. He has engaged in farming independently since he was large enough and is now the owner of forty acres of land in Butler Township, which was his grandfather's homestead.
His farming interests, however, are carried on much more extensively than would be possible on his own property, he leasing four hundred acres on section 32, Jackson township, where he devotes his time to general farming and stock-raising. The work is systematically done and his labors are productive of good results. In addition to his individual interests of that character he is a director of the Butler County Mutual Fire & Lightning insurance Company, with which he has thus been connected for the past nine years, and is a stockholder in the Farmers Cooperative Creamery Company of Allison and in two different telephone lines of the county.
On Christmas day of 1899 was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Curtis and Miss Sarah Jane Allan, who was born in 1870, a daughter of James Allan, mentioned elsewhere in this volume. The five children of this marriage are:
1. Mary Ellen
2. James Bruce
3. Lela Bernice
4. Bessie Christina
5. Ruth Viola
The parents hold membership in Unity Presbyterian church and Mr. Curtis belongs also to the Masonic fraternity and to the Modern Woodmen camp. In politics he is a progressive. He does not believe in the blind following of party leaders but thinks for himself and his opinions are the expression of honest conviction. He stands for all that he believes to be best in citizenship and his cooperation can be counted upon to further any measure or movement for the public good.
