     THOMAS F. CURTSINGER, who was one of the very prosperous and
representative men of Graves county, was born in Washington county,
Kentucky, March 12, 1816.  He was reared and educated in his native
county and became a farmer.  Being a quite, retiring man, he had no
eventful history, but simply did his duty as he saw it, brought up
his children and was a consistent member of the Catholic church. 
While holding no office, he early espoused the principles of
Democracy.
     In Washington county, Kentucky, he was married to Miss Sarah
Toon, and three children were born to them, namely: Robert, Mary Ann
and John.  After the death of his first wife Mr. Curtsinger married,
in Graves county, Elizabeth Reily, and nine children came to bless
their home, namely: James T., Julia A., Victor, Martha J., Elisha
F., Melvina, Allen G., Philip W., Laura E.  His second wife passed
away and he was married to Elizabeth (Willett) Hayden, a widow with
two children, namely: James T., born November 9, 1867, and died July
10, 1886; Samuel L., born October 7, 1870; Mary G., born July 12,
1873; and Laura B., born February 3, 1876.
     The death of Mr. Curtsinger occurred February 21, 1903.  He
left a widow and large family to mourn the loss of a kind husband
and father, while his death is felt in the neighborhood by those who
understood and appreciated his many virtues.  When his estate was
examined it was discovered that he had left ten thousand acres to be
divided among his heirs as a result of patient, uncomplaining labor
throughout a blameless life.
