Dr. Elijah Curtiss, his son Dr. Charles Curtiss practiced in Lima, OH as well as Dr. Charles' son Dr. Edgar Curtiss. Dr. Elijah Curtiss was married to Dr. Elijah Hanchett's daughter....Flora Hanchett-Curtiss...and trained with Dr. Elijah Hanchett. In 1812, Dr. Elijah Curtiss was born in Berkshire County, MASS and in 1821the family went to Ohio, and settled in Summit County at the time. Dr. Elijah's parents (Abner Curtiss & Persis Howe-Curtiss)were married on 3-4-1807 in Worcester....and Abner is listed as Abner of Dalton and Mrs. Persis Howe-Salter..so must have been her 2nd marriage. Persis Howe-Curtiss was born ca 1783 in Worcester, MASS, daughter of Joel Howe & Mary Gates. I would love to be able to find more about Abner Curtiss (Dr. Elijah's father) and his siblings....
