The Ionia Standard, Friday, November 16, 1888
Easton.  Correspondence of The Standard:

Another of Easton’s pioneers gone.  Erastus Curtis, an old resident and highly 
respected citizen, died at his home in Easton, Nov. 9th.  Mr. Curtis was born 
in Massachusetts May 10th, 1811.  When about four years old he moved with his 
parents to Genesee County, N.Y.  He remained there till 1854, when he moved to 
Ionia county, and located near the town line between Easton and Keene.  He was 
married twice, his second wife, and six children by his first wife all 
surviving him.  Mr. Curtis joined the free-will Baptist at the age of 18, and 
has lived an exemplary life that many that make a greater profession might 
pattern after.  Elders Cornell and Madison conducted the funeral services.
