Notes for DON CARLOS CURTIS, JR.

He spent his childhood playing in Curtis Creek (south of the present ballpark and high school) and roaming the hills of the vast area owned by his grandparents, the Andersons and the Curtis'.

His father, Carl Curtis (Don Carlos Curtis, Sr.), had a mine located close to the present Curtis cemetery, which attracted tourists from all over the country.  Modern homes now grace the site of the old mine.  Yet, after all these years, the Curtis family still gets inquiries about the mine by people how have heard about it.

Don received his education in the Weatherford schools and learned the masonry trade from an uncle, WILL CURRENT.   He helped lay the brick on many Weatherford homes as well as his own home at 907 S. Main St.
