| − | <table><tr><td>Curtis married secondly in 1938 to Katharine Miller Leas<sup>[[#Footnotes 5|P]]</sup> (1917-2000), they had four surviving children: Katharine, Mary, Stephen and James. From this point, I see no more mentions of Curtis spending time with his first two children, and by 1944 his son is being called "Curtis R Boettiger". Additionally, when "Sistie" got married in 1948, Curtis was not in attendence. (see [http://www.newspaperarchive.com/PdfViewerTags.aspx?img=68016218¤tResult=22&src=search&firstvisit=true ''San Antonio Light'', 8 Jul 1948, page 24]) It would appear likely because of this that there was some kind of strain in, or even severing of the relationship. This would have apparently happened sometime between 1939 and 1944. Possibly Curtis' second marriage was the trigger. | + | <table><tr><td>Curtis married secondly in 1938 to Katharine Miller Leas<sup>[[#Footnotes 5|P]]</sup> (1917-2000), they had four surviving children: Katharine, Mary, Stephen and James.

When Curtis Jr got married, some newspapers reported that Curtis Sr has been invited but was unable to attend. |
