Product Information

Excerpt from George William Curtis and His Antecedents: A Paper Read Before the Worcester Society of Antiquity, November 1st 1892 The death of this distinguished scholar and philanthropist has left a void in the world of letters and society which must long remain unfilled. Of the poets, philosophers, statesmen and scholars, whose loss the world has lately been called upon to deplore, there is t one whose name was dearer to humanity than that of George William Curtis. Other pens have written his eulogy, which can only have been the simple truth: it remains for us to trace his antecedents, and review their and his connection with the history of our own town, whose citizens must always be proud that he was an off-shoot of its sturdy stock. The first of the family to settle in Worcester was Ephraim Curtis, of Sudbury, son of Henry Curtis, of Watertown; one of his descendants, to whom I am much indebted, tells how among the first of the daring spirits to explore the wilderness, towards the Connecticut River, Young Curtis with his all on his back, and with gun and axe in his hands, came from Sudbury to Worcester, around by the head of Long Pond, and made here the first white man's settlement. He built the first white man's dwelling ever erected in Worcester, in the neigborhood of the present Curtis homestead, where he had acquired 50 acres of land, having his first title to that and more, from Sagamore John, chief of the Nipmucks, who were then his only neighbors. This house was built in or about 1673, and within the two years following seven or eight houses had been built.
