Notes |
- Dr. Asa L. Curtis, engaged in the practice of medicine and surgery in Pa y son, was born at Salem, Utah county, February 3, 1877. The Curtis fami l y is distinctively American in its lineal and collateral branches, havi n g been represented on American soil since 1635. The progenitor of the C ur tis family in the new world was a native of England. Dr. Curtis was ed uca ted in the district schools of Salem and in the Brigham Young Univers it y at Provo, where he pursued a normal course. After leaving college h e ta ught school for four years, two years of this time in Utah county an d tw o years in Arizona.
He then went on a mission to New Zealand, where he remained for three ye a rs, from 1901 until 1903 inclusive, with headquarters at Wellington, se rv ing as president of the conference during the last year of that period .
On his return to the United States he took up the study of medicine in N o rthwestern University of Chicago and was graduated therefrom in 1911 wi t h the degree of M. D. He at once located for practice in Payson, Utah , an d has since devoted his attention to medicine and surgery, in whic h he ha s met with excellent success.
He belongs to the Utah County Medical Society, also to the Utah State Me d ical Society and the American Medical Association, and he was at one ti m e vice president of the county organization. He was commissioned a capt ai n of the Medical Corps on the 27th of June, 1918, and served at Camp F uns ton until his discharge February 12, 1919, during which time he prepa re d and presented to the war department the outline and plans for a ne w tan k, which was intended to have the speed of an automobile and the fi ghtin g qualities of a tank. For this service he received congratulation s fro m Colonel Thompson, General Crowded, Senator Smoot and several othe r arm y officers, but the war ended before his tank was put into use.
Dr. Curtis was married December 28, 1903, in Manti Temple, to Miss Ann i e B. Littlewood, a native of Payson and a daughter of Martin Littlewoo d . Dr. and Mrs. Curtis have eight children: Asa Brentnall, Lucille, Evel yn , Melva, Mildred, Helen, Emerson and Delbert.
Dr. Curtis belongs to the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Sain t s of the second ward. He is a member of the high council and in churc h an d Sunday school work has taken an active part. He belongs also to th e Pay son Commercial Club, of which he has served as president. Nothing i s fore ign to him that has to do with the up building and progress of th e commun ity in which he makes his home, his aid and cooperation being co unted upo n at all times to further every measure for the general good. H e also hol ds to the highest professional standards and his ability is re cognized b y his contemporaries and colleagues in the profession.
