Curtis family.

Hide Profile

The Curtis family were paper manufacturers at Newton Lower Falls, Mass., and Newark, Del.

Solomon Curtis (1766-1818) built a paper mill at Newton Lower Falls in 1791. His sons, George B. Curtis, S. Minot Curtis, and Frederick A. Curtis worked at papermaking at several sites before purchasing a derelict paper mill at Newark, Del., in 1848. The mill remained under full family control until 1926, when Frederick's son Alfred A. Curtis retired. The firm was incorporated as Curtis & Brother, Incorporated on May 12, 1911. It went into receivership in 1931 and was reorganized as the Curtis Paper Company in 1932. Outside financial control increased after 1926 and became complete in 1946, when the company was sold to Allen F. Horton, a Philadelphia investor.
