Person:Unknown Davis (12)

Excerpt of email: The Curtin Children in 1920, 1/18/01 1:19:58 EST; From: WmHelrihy@@aol.com; To: Genuspecies@@aol.com

" Ella Curtin worked for the Bank of Asia in NYC before going to work at Guarantee Trust. William Curtin may have worked as a teller in one of these two places?

Ella Curtin left Guaranty Trust (Foreign Department) on February 5, 1920, according to dad. Dad worked there in April and May 1920, so Ella may have recommended him? Also, Ella may have been working in the Foreign Department when she met Mr. Davis, who had investments in Cuba?

Between February 5, 1920, and Lillian Curtin's marriage on October 30,1920, here is what Ella probably did:

Went to work for Mr. Davis, a wealthy importer who had sugar plantations and railroads in Cuba. Married him (her first husband).

Watched his investments go to Hell, from a market crash (you), or from "financial problems" (dad).

Watched Mr. Davis business failures drive him into dementia.

Ella had him confined in an insane asylum (presumably she had him declared legally insane?)"
