JULIAN CURTIS, M.D.



Julian Curtis M.D., was born at Negreet, Sabine parish, September 16, 1875,

and is the third son of Dr. William R. Curtis, a pioneer physician of Sabine

and a surgeon in the Civil War, and Emily Francis Moore.  His childhood days

were spent at Hemphill, Texas, and at Negreet, in this parish.  At the age of

15 he entered the Fort Jesup Masonic Institute while the school was under the

supervision of Prof. A. D. Carden, one of the South's ablest instructors.



Early in life he married Miss Nona Jackson and resided at Negreet until his

father's death in 1897.  Being inspired to take up his father's profession

where he laid it down, he entered the Alabama Medical College at Mobile,

attending one term in the fall and spring of 1897-98, and then spent two years

at the Memphis Hospital College, graduating in the spring of 1901 and passed

the State Board of Louisiana in May of the same year.  He located at Fort

Jesup and practiced until October 1904, when he accepted a position with the

Rapides Lumber Co., at Woodworth, La., one of the Long Bell plants, as

physician and surgeon, resigning same to April 1906, and moved to Many, where

he continued the practice of his profession in partnership with Dr. D. H.

Dillon until October of that year.  The succeeding seven years have been

delightfully spent in the service of the Brown Lumber Co. At Shamrock, La.
