Goldsboro Messenger July 23, 1883
Address Delivered by Reb. Jno. N. Andrews

Rev. Curtis Hooks was in early life a traveling preacher but for nearly half a 
century a local elder and a man of commanding appearance and fine voice. His 
sermons and prayers were sterotyped but the people who heard them perhaps four 
times a year would laugh and cry and shout as though they were fresh from the 
mint of God. He married more people and preached more funerals than any man who 
has lived in Wayne County. He was at the great meeting, not preaching, but 
exhorting and praying and occasionally getting shouting happy. When that occured 
his wife would seize his coat tail and follow him around the church, evidently to 
keep him from flying away to glory. Good people, they are both now in the realms 
of bliss.
