John was born 22 June 1868 in Tallmadege, Ottawa, Michigan. He died 6 January 1873 in Lamont, Ottawa, Michigan. He was buried in the Elmwood Cemetery located in Lamont, Ottawa, Michigan. When the cemetery was cleaned and restored, Johnny's headstone was found encased in the trunk of a tree and was cracked in half. Volunteers carefully removed the stone from the tree. When the stone was reset, it was placed nearby and had a metal frame around it to hold it together. I personally visited with the two volunteers, a husband and wife in Michigan who cleaned and restored the cemetery and little Johnny's headstone. Hearing them tell me the story of finding the headstone encased in the tree is one story I will never forget.

10th Child - DeWilton Emory Curtis 1873-1952
For years, actually decades, I was never able to find a good photo of DeWilton. Eventually, extended family members found a photo of him, both young and old.
He was an accomplished musician, which gives hope to finding additional photographs of him in a newspaper or some other publication. DeWilton married Audeca Etta Brower, and their children were:
