Obit

George Washington's obituary was published in the Dallas Morning News on 2 August 1946:
Mail Pioneer Is Dead at 82. G.W. Curtis ‘Father’ of RFD in Texas. George Washington Curtis, 82, sometimes called the father of rural free delivery mail in Texas, died Thursday. His home was at 4346 Somerville. He had lived in Dallas twenty-two years, having come here from Weston, Collin County, where he was postmaster.
The small town of Weston, located between Van Alstyne and Celina, was the testing ground for the rural free delivery service that has since become an accepted fact in the lives of thousands of Americans. At that time it met bitter opposition. It was attacked on the grounds of being too expensive—salaries had been set at $35 a month. In 1899, when Congress appropriated $3,000 to establish the first rural routes, Curtis as head of the Weston post office made application for one of them. The route, twenty-six miles long when the weather was dray and fifty when it rained hard, was granted—one of seven in the United States. Curtis’ father-in-law carried it.
After seven years as Weston postmaster, during which time the rural free delivery system proved itself, Curtis resigned to go into the mercantile business. He came to Dallas after his retirement. May 29, 1945 he celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of his marriage to Miss Amy Baker of Gunter, Grayson County. He is survived by his wife: three sons, John Grant Curtis, Irving, and Harry and William L. Curtis, Dallas, and two daughters, Mrs. Georgia Pearl Clem and Mrs. Genevieve Crawford, Dallas.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Friday at the George A. Brewer Funeral Home. Dr. W. Marshall Craig, pastor of Gaston Avenue Baptist Church, will officiate. Burial will be in Cottage Hill Cemetery at Celina, Collin County. Pallbearers will be Milton Fuqua, W.A. Boren, John W. Wright, R.R. McCollough, J.W. Baker of Dorchester, Grayson County, and Jack Sadler of Gunter.¹⁰
