Upon the death of Capt. Samuel W. Curtis, of this town, a soldier of the War of 1812, Gibbs Post, 1_0, Grand Army of the Republic, took action as follows:
Whereas, Providence has seen fit to remove from among us by death, Captain Samuel W. Curtis...
Lawrence Mix, Esq, made the following remarks, the publication of which was unanimously voted by the Post, and ordered placed upon its records:
Samuel W. Curtis was born at Renssalearville, near Albany, March 19th, 1786. He died at Warsaw, Nov. 24th, 1873, aged 87 years and 8 months. The period of time included within these two dates constituted the earthly life of our deceased friend....
It is of interest to know what was the character of him whose death we communicate. First he was honest; honest with himself, honest with others. He possessed therefore, the basis principle of a great character...
Our friend moved in a limited sphere, and consequently was not widely known; but those who knew him long and knew him best, unite in saying he was scrupulously honest...
He was patriotic. He loved his country with as much intensity and enthusiasm as the Switzer does his mountain home. He loved its institutions. He had lived in and been identified with its early history, struggles and progress. He was a soldier in the War of 1812, when our naval prowess was illustrated by the prowess of Perry and his associates...
He was a peacemaker. His religion was practical. People having differences would leave their adjustment to him, and he settled them wisely because justly...
I am told that his children say they never saw him in anger.... a kind husband, an affectionate father, and true friend. He was habitually cheerful."
