Biography

H. W. Curtis was born in the state of New York about 1816. He moved to the new state of Wisconsin about 1853 and settled in Sauk County, Wisconsin. He quickly became involved in local temperance and abolitionist organizations, and became one of the trustees of the Delton Academy. Through his activism, he became involved with the new Republican Party of Wisconsin when it was created in 1854. Sometime in the 1850s, he resided in New Lisbon, Wisconsin, and was editor of the short-lived partisan newspaper, the New Lisbon Republican, but he ultimately returned to Sauk County sometime before 1858, residing then in Delton, Wisconsin.

In 1858, he was elected to the Wisconsin Senate, running on the Republican Party ticket. He served in the 1859 and 1860 sessions of the Legislature. It does not appear that he ran for renomination in 1860.

It seems he subsequently moved to Baraboo, Wisconsin, where he was involved with the Baraboo Paper Manufacturing Company. He seems to have lived until at least 1863.
