Betty Curtiss

Female 1925 - 2005  (79 years)

Personal Information    |    Sources    |    All    |    PDF

  • Name Betty Curtiss  [1, 2
    • Listed in Virgil's obituary as "Betty Curtiss Reeves," it is not clear whether Curtiss was her middle name or her maiden surname.

      However, a "Betty Curtis" is found in the 1940 Elbert County, Colorado, census, age 14. It is overwhelmingly likely that this is the right Betty Curtis--particularly since they were living next door to a Moreland family, and Marshall Reeves had married a girl by the name of Moreland.
