<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 1868596, member: 59"]I have discovered that SF's younger son, Perley P Curtis, apparently took over the management of his father's business after his father's death. In the 1880 Census, his occupation was listed as Furniture Dealer. It's possible, although I do not know for sure, that he maintained his father's name on the business, which might mean that the painted name on the bottom could post-date the father's death in 1871.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
