General Notes: Husband - Roland Curtin, Jr.

---

He was born in the stone house on the corner of Allegheny Street and Cherry Alley, later occupied by John B. Awl. Up to his eighteenth year he attended various schools, receiving the bulk of his education in a then well-known academy in the city of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. At the age of eighteen he engaged actively in the iron business with his father. There was no way of shipping iron then except by arks on the river or in wagons. Before there was even a good wagon-road across the mountains to Pittsburgh, young Roland, as he was then called, transported many a wagonload of iron from Centre County to that city. When the prices were good in the east he took charge of the shipping by arks via the Susquehanna to market. The manufacture of iron was the business of his life, and for over fifty years he was actively engaged as a manager of iron-works, the greater part of the time at the well-known Eagle Iron-Works, at what was called Curtin's Station.
