SQUIER M. CURTIS is a farmer on section 10, Millington Township, Tuscola County.
 He is a native of the Buckeye State and was born May 5, 1866. He is a son of
Milo Curtis, also a native of Ohio, who was there reared and married to Miss Ann
M. Ellsworth, a daughter of Chester Ellsworth, of the same State. Our subject
was one of eight children born to his parents, six sons and two daughters. Our
subject's father was always a farmer. He enlisted in the United States service
in 1862, serving until 1865, when he received his honorable discharge. He was
living in Tuscola County at the breaking out of the war, having come from Ohio
in 1860. At the close of the war he returned to Millington Township, where he
died in 1871. Our subject's mother died in 1889, in Kalamazoo County.

  Milo Curtis was a pioneer in Millington Township. He here owned eighty acres
of land. At the time of his decease our subject was only four years of age. His
mother then went back to Ohio, taking him with her and there he remained until
eighteen years of age and became engaged in farm work. He then went to Kalamazoo
County and worked on a farm for four years, when he purchased forty acres of
land where he now resides and eighty acres on section 2, of the same township.

  Mr. Curtis was married in Vassar, April 12, 1891, to Miss Ruth Hodgson, a
daughter of John R. Hodgson, of Canada, where he now resides. Mr. Curtis was
educated in Ohio, at Willoughby College, in Lake County. Socially he belongs to
the Knights of Pythias, being a member of Millington Lodge, No. 61. Politically
he is a Republican and has been so since the beginning of his career. He and his
wife are the most pleasing of young people and have common sense and broad views
of the future that will inevitably bring them in touch with leading minds of
their locality.
