CURTIS

The community of Curtis was established in the 1870s on the Iron Mountain  
Railroad. Some of its early residents came as the result of a brochure     
distributed by the railroad listing the virtues of the area ... Curtis     
acquired its name in 1873. Halfway between Arkadelphia and the small       
settlement of Gurdon, railroad officials chose the site of Curtis for a    
fuel chute ... By 1880 there were only five families in the small community
... Manufacturing of lumber from the forests surrounding Curtis became the 
backbone of the community ... The Thomas Mill at Curtis was by far the     
largest of the mills ... (and) consisted of a sawmill, dry kilns, a planing
mill, lumber sheds and open storage lumber "stacks" ... A railroad depot   
had been in existence about as long as the mill was in operation ... A     
"section crew" that worked out of Curtis kept the railroad in good state of
repair for several miles. The crew consisted of a foreman and three or four
laborers who travelled to their work on the railroad in an open-top rail   
car. Clyde Wingfield served as foreman of this crew from the 1930s to the  
1960s.
