Jeremiah R. Scott, Jr
CURLESS FAMILY LEAVES A LEGACY

Six generations of the Curless Family have been a part of Humboldt County since the patriarch Biar Curless arrived in the Blocksburg area in 1869. Biar Curless, who was born in 1834, was a native of Indiana. His father was Wright S. Curless, Sr. and his mother was Rosanna Ashton. In 1851 the family moved to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where in 1855 Biar married Miss Lovina Shaw.

In 1859 Biar, his family, and younger brother, Wright S. Curless, Jr., started across the plains to California. The Curless family crossed the plains with an ox team via the Salt Lake Route driving cattle and other stock before them.
The Curless family lived in Butte County for a time, then traveled south down the valley to Los Angeles. In January, 1861, the Curless family started across the plains and desert again-this time to the east by way of the Southern Route. Arriving at their destination in Texas, they heard news of the fall of Fort Sumter and the beginning of the Civil War. The Curless family turned northward and reached Omaha,
Nebraska.

A week later the family traveled westward, making their third trip across the great plains. Upon their arrival in California in 1861 they settled in Placerville, El Dorado County.

Wright Curless joined the California State Militia and saw active duty during the Civil War. Biar purchased a 160-acre acre homestead and mining claim on Smith Flat in El Dorado Country. After Wright's military discharge, brothers Biar and Wright en-gaged in mining until Biar moved to Humboldt County in 1869.

The Curless family took up a homestead on September 26, 1869, near what is now called Blocksburg. The Humboldt County census showed a population in 1860 of 2,694 and 6,140 in 1870. Biar and Lovina Curless had seven children, including Talburt Curless.

Biar was a part of the first group of ranchers who brought a herd of 10,000 sheep from Red Bluff in the Sacramento Val-ley over theYolla Bolla Mountains in Trinity County to Humboldt County. Biar ran up to 5,000 sheep and an assortment of hogs, cattle and turkey. The main Biar Curless house and ranch consisted of approximately 2,000 acres at Larabee Creek on the main trail and stage route between Blocksburg and Bridgeville.

The original Curless ranch was located on what is now known as the Perry, Kay and Payton ranches. The Eureka newspaper Daily Times-Telephone edition of May 29, 1886, reports: "Sixty fat hogs from the farm of Biar Curless, who lives ten miles this side of Blocksburg, were received at the Humboldt Packing House on Tuesday. It was a fine herd of grunters, but they looked tired on arrival. When we remember the conditions of the roads, and that they had `footed it' about sixty-five miles, it was little wonder that they did."

Biar died in 1911 and his widow, Lovina Curless, passed away in 1912.

Wright Curless came to Humboldt County to join Biar and family in 1877. He engaged in sheep ranching for a period of two years, and had as many as 2,000 head at one time. Wright became road overseer from Burr Creek to Alderpoint for two and one-half years and then engaged in horse teaming. In 1888 Wright Curless engaged in the liquor business in Blocksburg until the town was voted dry in July of 1914. Wright returned to ranching.

In the 1870s another brother to Biar and Wright, George Curless, built a mountain cabin located north of Blocksburg on the south slope of Charles Mountain on land now owned by the Dolores Fearrien family. The "Curless cabin" was re-modeled in the early 1950s by Garberville carpenters Sterling Knapp and Neil Keith. The Curless cabin is still in use and visitors are warned of the presence of rattlesnakes.

The third born son of Biar and Lovina Curless was Talburt Curless. Talburt married Catherine Hevener of the Redding area and homesteaded up to 640 acres on Cameron Creek near Whitlow on the Main Eel River. Talburt raised sheep, cows and hogs and was in demand as a sheep shearer. Talburt and Catherine had six children. The second oldest son, born on February 25, 1895, was Guy Curless.

Guy Curless attended the Blocksburg "Island School" located between Blocksburg and Bridgeville. For six years he walked to school every school day, a considerable distance.

As a boy growing up in the Blocksburg area he was raised on stories from that area's legendary past, with characters like George E. White, the cattle king, storeowner Benjamin Blockenburger and his grandfather, Biar Curless. He observed brothers Pierce and FrankAsbill who "discovered" Round Val-ley in 1854.

In an article written by Mary Siler Anderson appearing in the March-April 1987 issue of the Humboldt Historian titled "A Life Time of Hunting, Trapping," Guy Curless states:

"I can still remember nay own grandfather I can hear him say it yet," he says, "and I don't know if it's true or not, but he had an old muzzle loading pistol and he claimed he could load it as fast as a horse could run. He was tough." Guy re-members the day that he met Grizzly Jim Wilburn and "heard him tell the story of how he killed that grizzly bear with a butcher knife. Shot him first and then didn't have time to re-load that old muzzle gun. They used flour sacks to tap their powder and to wrap their wounds."

In 1907 Guy at age 12 hired out his father's team of two horses to skid logs and poles in the woods. He also worked as a herdsman, driving herds of sheep and hogs and flocks of turkeys from the Blocksburg ranch to the Russ Meat Company in Ferndale.

At an early age he spent winters trapping coons, skunks, fox, mink and otter and sold the fur hides to buyers for ladies' wearing apparel.

Guy recalled the 1906 earthquake. He was a part of a cattle drive from Blocksburg to Russ Meat Company in Ferndale. The ground shook and trees fell. When they arrived in Fern-dale the brick chimneys on Main Street had tumbled down. With his cousin, Bill Perry, he returned to Fernbridge to catch the Overland Stage to Blocksburg. But when they heard that the stage charge for the trip was eight dollars, the cousins walked from Fernbridge to Blocksburg.

At age 16 Guy worked in the woods peeling tan oak bark for Bert McKee and the Wagner Leather Works. The acid de-rived from the tan oak was used to tan leather.

'From 1917 until 1923 Guy worked as foreman on the Rain-bow Ranch for Mr. Scofield. He also trapped fur in the winter months. The bounty was $10 a piece for coyote pelts and $50 for mountain lions.

In 1923 he became a government hunter for the U.S. Department of Interior Fish and Wildlife Service. His job was to protect livestock ranches from predator coyote, bear and mountain lion. He protected ranch livestock in an area from the Klamath River on the north to South Fork Mountain on the east and Leggett and Bear Harbor on the south. In the 1920s coyote became a major predator upon sheep. Guy used traps and poison to control coyote.

In a recorded interview with ranchers Bill and Peggy Rice in 1972, Guy reminisced about his 37 years as a government hunter. His comments include:

...coyotes are just as smart as a human being; the largest coyote litter he saw was eleven pups and the smallest 2 pups; coyotes killed a flock of 14 turkeys in one night; coyotes would herd a flock of turkeys or sheep; he would stay out alone in the ranch wilderness for up to 3-4 weeks duration; a male and female coyote mate for life; coyotes kill deer and deer fawns; coyotes can carry a deer fawn some distance; the life span of a coyote is 10-12 years, similar to a dog; on the Tuttle Ranch near Garberville one coyote killed 140 ewe sheep, including eleven in one night; a coyote kills a sheep by biting the throat and does not always eat his prey, he often kills just for the fun of it.

In the March-April 1987 Humboldt Historian article by Mary Siler Anderson, Guy states:

"I've been on every ranch in Humboldt County," he says. "I rode my horse and had three animals besides pack horses-to carry my gear and then the dogs. Sometimes we stayed at ranches, sometimes we camped in old barns. I lived out and it was good. Living wild, off the land, on deer meat and fish. I used my hounds to hunt coyote dens with. I had this one-a good little dog-she knew just what to do all the time. She was trained to track those coyotes and she'd look back to me and if I motioned to her she wouldn't go any further Oh, she was a smart little thing." With a happy light in his eves, he remembers, "I never been beat. I always got everything I went after. I have a record of over 8,000 coyotes killed. That's a lot. And I got sixteen mountain lions and 800 bears. I never got along with the brass, but I did the work and knew how to get those animals and that was what the people wanted. I worked for the people, not the brass."

During Guy's time, other government hunters in Humboldt County included Gus Landergen, Charley Beaver, Jim Rolleson, Charles Prindle and Frank Wilburn. Guy was retired as a federal game hunter in 1960.

In March, 1917, Guy married Viola Lewis of the Bruce Lewis family of Bull Creek. The were married in Eureka by Justice of the Peace James T. Fraser. Guy and Viola had three children: Robert, Roy and Elaine. Guy and Viola proved up a homestead at Rain-bow Ridge south of Scotia. They then lived at Bull Creek until 1936 when son Bob finished South Fork High School. In 1936 the family moved to Holmes Flat on 72 acres for Roy and Elaine to attend Fortuna schools.

Viola died in 1975. Robert died in 1987. Robert has two daughters, Marie Medeiros of Vallejo and Roberta Beat of Kelseyville. Guy died in 1990. Guy and Viola are buried at the Bull Creek Pioneer Cemetery. Elaine Curless Cacci and her husband Paul Cacci operated grocery stores in Rio Dell. Their daughters are Cathy Cacci, deceased, and Sandra Close, who teaches at the Scotia Elementary School and owns the C&C Market in Rio Dell with her husband, Wally.

Roy Curless is a member of the fourth generation of the Curless family to reside in southern Humboldt. Roy graduated from Fortuna High School in 1948 and attended Oregon State College on a baseball scholarship. His college baseball career was interrupted by the Korean War. Roy served in the U.S. Army Signal Corps in Europe.

After his discharge from the army, Roy returned to Humboldt County. He and brother Bob Curless operated the Standard Oil Distributor business at South Fork near Dyerville until 1956. From 1957 to 1963 Roy operated a retail business in Fortuna.

Roy married Laurada Mudgett, a member of the Fortuna pioneer Mudgett family. Her father Paul Mudgett had became a pharmacist in Fortuna in 1910 and was a civic and business leader in the Fortuna area until his death in 1962.

Roy and Laurada Curless have two children, John M. Curless and Mary Curless Smith.

Roy Curless has been a member of the Board of Directors since 1958 and has served as president continually since 1972 of the Fortuna Rodeo Association. The Fortuna Rodeo is a top rodeo attraction in California.

Roy served in the County of Humboldt Assessors office beginning in 1963, where he was experienced in ranch appraisals, until his retirement in 1995 as chief appraiser.

Roy Curless has served his community as an elected member of the Board of Commissioners of the Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District since 1991. Roy rep-resents the Second Supervisorial District (Southern Humboldt) from Table Bluff on the north to the Mendocino County Line on the south, on the west from Shelter Cove to Blocksburg and Bridgeville on the east. Included in this area are the original homestead locations of Biar, Wright, George, Talburt and Guy Curless.

John Mudgett Curless, son of Roy and Laurada Curless, is a geologist, a graduate of Humboldt State University and Oregon State University. John's wife is Dr. Valerie Hipkins, Assistant Director of the U.S. Forest Service Laboratory in El Dorado County. John and Valerie live near Placerville, El Dorado County, the original arrival location of Biar and Wright Curless in 1861.

Mary Curless Smith has degrees in marketing communications and speech communication from the Center for the Communication Arts, San Diego, California. She and her husband, Grant R. Smith, live in the Mudgett house located on Main Street in Fortuna. Mary works in Eureka as the Assistant Di-rector of Eureka Main Street.

John and Valerie have a son, Joseph A. Curless, age 4, the sixth generation Curless in California.

     Christine Curley was born on 8. Oct. 1823 at Sparta, Livingston County, New York. She was the daughter of William Curley and Catriena Stryker. Christine Curley married Leicester Day on 31. Dec. 1844 at Johnston, Ohio. Christine Curley died on 15. Nov. 1901 at Burrton, Harvey County, Kansas, at age 78. She was buried at Burrton Cemetery, Burrton, Harvey County, Kansas. DOCTORS SCARCE IN EARLY DAYS
In those early days of Burrton's history, doctors had not yet discovered this little prairie town. (The population of Burrton was 255 at the time of its incorporation.) But a lady lived here who acted as midwife and general practitioner for all the settlers. She was Mrs. Leicester Day and she lived where the Bruce Wilson family lives now. Mrs. Day was one of the most valuable persons in the community. An early day friend of mine told me that he once had a case of acute indigestion. His family sent for Mrs. Day, and after she had given him a dose of her medicine the pain ceased in less than fifteen minutes.
Mrs. Day also kept a boarding house to accomodate transients and drummers (salesmen to the younger generation), and one day a Mr. Dickey of Newton on his way to Hutchinson stopped at her house for dinner. He finished the meal before the others and on his way out, he passed by the cook stove. He could smell a delicious aroma coming from the oven and he asked Mrs. Day what she was cooking. She told him it was a wild goose. "Well", he said, "I'll be coming back for supper. Save me some of the goose." When he returned, she had to tell him that it was not a goose but that she did not dare tell him before the other boarders that it was a skunk. She was rendering the oil from it for some patients she had. Of course she had removed the disagreeable effluvia from the creature before she put it in the oven. Mrs. Day told me the story with many a chuckle.

Death of Grandma Day
Mrs. Leicester Day died suddenly at her home in this city last Saturday, of heart failure. She had been in her usual health and the only indication of an approaching end was when she dropped into a chair and breathed her last.
Christine Curly was born Oct. 8, 1823, in Livingston Co., New York. Was married to Leicester Day in Trumble Co., Ohio, on the 31st day of Dec. 1844, resided in the state of Ohio about 11 years from there they removed to Grand (Grant) Co., Wisconsin, where they resided until 1871, when they moved to Kansas, near Burrton, at which place she resided until her death Nov. 15, 1901. Age 78 years, 1 month and 7 days.
She was left a widow in 1897, her companion having preceded her to his eternal home on the fourth day of August. She was the mother of nine children, one, Estella, dying in infancy, and Kate Hale, deceased. She leaves three sons and four daughters to mourn her loss, all living near Burrton, with the exception on one daughter, Elmira Darstow, who resides in California.
The funeral services were held from the Christian Church Sunday afternoon and were conducted by Rev. Hensley of Halstead. The remains were laid to rest in the Burrton Cemetery.
