evening, friends,” were doing a lut;
iuf‘ expectant talking, the mayor |
- did something about it. }
' He sat himself down and wrote |
out a proclamation, the first he
hag issued since assuming the
reing of office. It is an official
document calling on citizens to
give fitting welcome to the mem

man in whose brain was born the
idea of the Amateur Hour.

Outstanding Factor
The present Democratic leader
Menator Robinson of Arkansas
called the Kansan ‘“an outstanding
factor in public affairs,” while
Speaker Byrns said “he rendered
long and distinguished service L«
his country and was a splendid
public servant.”
Curtis’ political career knew
defeats as well as significant vic
tories before the Roosevelt land
slide swept him out of office with
President Hoover in 1932. In @n
active lifetime, the high points
were: :
1884—Klected prosecutor of
Shawnee county, Kansas.
{ 1892——Elected to the house of
representatives.
1903— Defeated in campaign for
a seat in the senate’
1907—KElected to the senate.
19]12—Defeated for re-election.
1914—Returned to the senate.
| 1924—Became Republican leade:
{ of the senate.
1928—~Klected to the vice-presi
dency with Herbert Hoover.
1932 Defeated seeking re-elec
tion.
Curtis was born in 1860 on a
farm near North Topeka, the son
of a Kansas pioneer, Captain Or
ren A. Curtis, who had married a
lgirl of Indian descent. Curtis
| himself was one-eighth Kaw In
ldian. the only person of such an
cestry ever elected to the vice
presidency.
Curtis was still an infant when
his mother died and his wrinkled
old Indian - grandmother, Julie
Poppin, daughter of Chief Whit¢
Plume of the Kaws, took him in
charge. He spent his boyhood on
the Kaw reservation.

DIES HERE SATURDAY
(Continued From ¥Page One)
‘Henry and Andrew Reid, Athens.
Mrs. Reid wag born in White
!Plains, Ga., in 1859, the daughter
lof Dr, Isaac D. Moore and Mary
Jane Howell. She married Dr.
Redding Jarrell Reid of Crawford
ville, on December 19, 1873 and the
| couple took up their residence in
| Crawfordvillee, Dr. Reid was a
iphysician aqd drpggis’t.
i Resided in Toccoa
l In 1905 Dr, and Mrs. Reid moved
lto Toccoa where Dr. Reid engaged
{in the drug businesa.
{ In 1914 they moved to Athens,
{where Mrs, Reid had lived since,
being preceded in death by. her
husband in 1916.
Mrs. Reid was a member of the
Baptist church, joining it when she
was a girl of 14 years. Ever since
that day, long ago, she has been
a loyal member of that denomina
tion. In earlier years she was
imore active in her church work
'and was always a central figure in
lits activities, '
E She was one of the organizers ot
|the Stephens Monumental associa-
Iriun and for many years an active
and enthusiastic worker in the
movement to secure the memorial
which standg at Crawfordville in
honor of Alexander Hamilton
Stephens. She was one of the
three surviving members of the
lMunumema assoctation.
Retiring Nature
l Always of a retiring nature, as
the weight of years bore more hea
[ vily, Mrs, Reid found more and
Emore her greatest pleasure within
{the circle of her home. Through
lout her long and valuable years,
!she placed her home and the train
iing of her children and the wel
ifare. of her loved above all else
rand in her latter years, her home
‘and her children were her consum
| ing interest. So true was this and
‘iso satisfying that she found little
itime to leave her beloved surround
!ings, even for a short time, to keep
i contact. with outside interests.
! She was a woman in whom was
| combined the attributes of un-
Syielding Christian character, tem
| pered with a deep love and fine
! understanding that made of her
fone revered by her family and ad
imired and respected by those so
{ fortunate as to hold, the privilege
lof her friendship.
f Through living from one period
lof the South’s history into another
istrangely foreign, Mrs. Reid, while
| adapting herself to those changing
fcondmons, retained the gentle
j graees and refinements which char
acterized the women of the old
South.
