Obit*

Phillip Pennywit's obituary was published in the Benton County Herald on 13 August 1929:
CURTIS, Phillip Pennywit - Phillip P. Curtis, one of the best known men in Bentonville, was found dead in an ante-room in the Masonic Temple here about two o'clock Tuesday morning after friends had been searching for him several hours. He was a prominent Mason and custodian of their building. Death is attributed to heart failure. He was 67 years of age. Mr. Curtis was born in Bentonville June 20, 1862 and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Curtis, among the early settlers in this section. Mr. Curtis had been in ill health for over a year and has been able to follow his trade but little. Monday he told Mrs. Curtis that he planned to go to Pea Ridge to figure on a job that afternoon. Not coming home at dark Mrs. Curtis became worried and about ten o'clock neighbors and friends started out to search for him. When they found him early Tuesday morning he had been dead several hours. He was a quiet man but had made many friends during his life long residence in Bentonville. His friends years ago nicknamed him "Pone" which stuck to him all through life. Few knew that his Christian name was Phillip. In 1892 he was married to Miss Gertie Burns to whom were born a son, Harry Curtis, now of McAlester, Oklahoma, both of whom survive him. Funeral services were held at the M.E. Church Wednesday afternoon, his pastor, the Rev. R.S. Hayden conducting the services. The church was filled with old time friends, many who had known him for over half a century. Masons from all parts of the county were present and officers of this order conducted the Masonic services at the grave. Burial was made in the City cemetery. [Benton County Record & Democrat & Sun 8/15/29] [Rogers Daily News 8/13/29]
When P.P. Curtis was suddenly called by death shortly after noon on Monday, August 12th, 1929 Bentonville lost one of her most generally liked citizens - one of her best "neighbors." He was a man well known and liked by men and women and children. He was a connecting link between the past and the present. Born here in Bentonville 67 years ago and having lived here almost constantly, he was thoroughly familiar with the activities and conditions of the earlier days; could tell from personal knowledge about the affairs of those days and of the daily lives of those who for long years have been sleeping in the Bentonville cemetery. As a neighbor he had in him those genuinely neighborly traits of the older days and many Bentonville families recall with grateful hearts how "Pone" Curtis came to their homes in the midst of sickness and death and sorrow, and rendered services such as only a friend and a real neighbor can and will render. Phillip Pennywit Curtis, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Curtis, was born at Bentonville, Arkansas June 20th, 1862. He was reared in Bentonville and spent all his life here with the exception of the comparatively short periods spent in other sections and states in connection with his work. His mother having died when he was very young, his sister, the late Mrs. Taylor T. Blake, was to him both sister and mother. On October 27th, 1892 Mr. Curtis married Miss Margaret Gertrude Burns, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Burns. Their one child, Harry Burns Curtis, a graduate of the University of Arkansas in electrical engineering and now manager of the Public Service Company at McAlester, Okla., survives him. Throughout his life Mr. Curtis was conspicuous for his steady habits and industry, and in spite of several months of rapidly failing health, continued his active work. There are few, if any, business houses or public buildings in Bentonville but in the construction of which Mr. Curtis had an important part which is true also of a very great many of the homes of the town and vicinity. Mr. Curtis had been a Mason for 22 years, being a member of the Blue Lodge, Royal Arch Chapter, Knights Templar and Eastern Star branches of the Masonic Order. He was laid to rest with Masonic honors, a great number of Masons and members of the Order of the Eastern Star paying him tribute. He was also for many years a member of the Knights of Pythias. Funeral services for Mr. Curtis were held Wednesday afternoon at the Methodist Episcopal Church, South of which he was a member, conducted by the pastor, the Rev. R.S. Hayden. Interment was made in the Bentonville cemetery with the services at the grave in charge of the Masonic order and with a Past Grand Master of the Arkansas Grand Lodge, Storm 0. Whaley of Sulphur Springs, leading in the Masonic ritual and funeral honors. Besides his wife and son Mr. Curtis is survived by a granddaughter,Mary Jane; by three nephews, Julian T. Blake of Tulsa, Okla., Finney C. Blake of Okmulgee, Okla., Carlos Blake of Los Angeles, Cal; and four nieces, Mrs. Wallace W. James of Joplin, Mo., Mrs. Archie Wright of Fayetteville, Ark. and the Misses Flora and Bob Blake of Bentonville. [Benton County Herald 8/15/29]¹
