BIOGRAPHY OF THE CURTIS FAMILY
Andrew T Curtis--
Andrew Curtis was born in 1829/30 in Ohio. He was married in 1850/51 to Sarah Porter. (Andrew is first found in the 1850 census of Middleburgh Township, Cuyahoga County, Ohio which was taken on 21 September 1850. Information is on microfilm 432, roll 673.) They were married in a double wedding with Sarah's Mother's sister Betsy Hulet and Nathan Foster. Sarah had a brother, Frank, who died at the age of 19 on Pike's Peak in Colorado.
On June 20, 1852 their first child, Adelbert, was born

This is taken from a book published in July 1896 "Memorial To The Pioneer Women Of The Western Reserve"which contains write-ups about the female pioneers in townships in the Western Reserve.
Mrs. Nathan FOSTER, nee Betsey HULET, was born in Lee, Berkshire County, Mass., April, 1811. In 1816 her father’s family removed to Brunswick, Medina County, O., and suffered many dangers, hardships and privations.
November, 1832, there was a double wedding in John HULET’s home, when his daughters, Jane Terena and Betsey, were married, the first becoming Mrs. Aaron PORTER, and Betsey, Mrs. Nathan FOSTER. The ceremony was performed by Rev. John JANES, of precious memory. His wife and infant daughter, now Mrs. Mary B. INGHAM, of Cleveland, were present.
Soon after marriage the young couples located in Albion, living in the same house. There Jane, Mrs. FOSTER’s eldest child, was born. Mr. FOSTER purchased a farm one half mile east of Albion and built, in the then thick woods, the log house which, as the years sped past, became too small for the growing family, and was abandoned for the new brick house erected a little east of the old cabin. Mrs. FOSTER is the mother of three sons and five daughters; all except the youngest, Fannie, who died in infancy, are still living. Jane married Frederick J. BARTLETT, and resides at Cedar Point, this county. Mary became the wife of Mitchell CLARK and was widowed in early life. She subsequently married J.T. HULET; her home is in Berea. Hanna A. lives with her parents; and Emily M., wife of Rev. J.P. MILLS, owing to her relation to the itineracy, has “here no continuing city.”
Two daughters and the three sons are college graduates. Mrs. FOSTER’s father was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, as were three of her uncles. Her eldest brother served in the war of 1812, and George H., her eldest son, in our civil war. Mrs. FOSTER, at eighty-six, is bright and active, both in home duties and the various church and reform societies of which she is a member. As a “real” daughter of the American Revolution she was recently presented with an elegant souvenir spoon, from Washington, D.C., through the “Western Reserve” Chapter, Cleveland, of which she is a member. Well posted on the vital questions which are stirring society, and with mental powers still forceful, she is spending her sunset days in her pleasant Berea home.
Hanna A. FOSTER, daughter of Betsey HULET FOSTER, should not be omitted from this memorial, originated and sponsored by Cleveland women, with whom she has long been intimately associated, and by whom she is admired and loved. A valued member of the Ohio Woman’s Press Club, a poet of more than local reputation, gentle, refined, and unselfish to the degree of immolation, her life has been one of devotion to others. At the celebration of Cleveland’s Centennial birthday, she easily won the prize offered for the best written ode for the occasion. As non de plumes were signed to all the poems, the judges had no idea to whom they belonged until after a decision had been reached.
Miss FOSTER’s dainty verse and prose have not only graced the pages of print, but have contributed much to the pleasure of church anniversaries and college reunions in the town in which she resides.
