The Gamma Phi Beta Founding Story
E. Adeline Curtis: The Friend
Eunice Adeline Curtis (Syracuse, 1874) , or “Addie,” was dubbed “the friend” among the four Founders. A kind and generous young lady with a most cheerful demeanor, she was known for the large entourage of people from all walks of life whom she called friends. Addie and her husband Frank had two sons: Edward Day Curtis, born in 1880, and Kenneth Wheaton Curtis, born in 1884, who died as an infant in 1885.
