After the Civil War closed he engaged in the mercantile business in Cookeville. In 1874, he was elected Circuit Court Clerk of Putnam County, which office he held for eight years. From 1885 until 1889 and again from 1893 until 1897, he served as District Deputy Internal Revenue Collector, he having served in that position under both of President Cleveland's administrations.

After the close of the Civil War, in which Col. Joseph Shaw, of Cookeville, lost his life, Capt. Curtis purchased Col. Shaw's home place on Dixie Avenue where he and his family resided until 1890, when he sold that property to the late Jere Whitson and purchased and moved to a location on West Broad street, where he resided until the death of his wife. That location is now the site of the Government building.

Capt. Curtis was a devoted member of the Methodist Church and for many years was a Steward and leading member of the Cookeville Southern Methodist Church. He was a bold, courageous and outspoken man who always championed the right, as he saw it. The Confederate soldiers of his Company, until their deaths, entertained a deep affection for him, and he enjoyed the confidence of all who knew him. His wife having died, Capt. Curtis went to Fort Worth, TX a few years before his death, where he resided with a son and daughter. His son, A. B. Curtis, a successful lawyer of Forth Worth, formerly served as City Attorney of Fort Worth. A daughter of Capt. Curtis, Mrs. Mary Curtis Denny, served two terms as County Trustee of Putnam Count.
