Geo. B. Curtis Dies in Enfield, Jan. 26, 1921

We regret to learn of the death of our old friend Mr. Geo. B. Curtis of Enfield, which occurred at his home in Enfield on Friday of last week. Mr. Curtis located in Enfield soon after the civil war and conducted the mercantile business in that town up to a short while, when together with extreme old age and bad health, he retired from the business. He was one of our oldest subscribers, having subscribed to The Roanoke News in 1868 and has been on the books ever since, up to a short while ago. We sincerely regret his passing.

(From the Roanoke News, Weldon, N.C., Jan. 26, 1921)
