Mrs. Louisa Kurtz provided Arden McClintock with valuable information on the early McClintocks, see References.

In 1900, Thomas, Louisa and family were living in Helena, Montana, where Thomas was listed as a banker.746 The family was in Chehalis, Washington, in 1910, when Thomas was a listed as a contractor. In 1920, Thomas, Louisa and youngest child, Henry McClintock Kurtz, were in Portland, Oregon, where Thomas was enumerated as the manager of a construction company.

Louisa was Thomas’s second wife. By his first wife, name not known, he had three children:
(a) Thomas R. Kurtz, born October 1881 in Minnesota.; in 1900 he was listed as a Naval Cadet and a step-son of Louisa;747
(b) William Kurtz, born February 1884 in Minnesota.
(c) Anna Kurtz, born February 1888 in Minnesota.

Thomas was still single in 1880, a merchant, and living in Billings, Dakota Territory.748 He married his first wife after the 1880 census, with the first child born in October 1881 in Minnesota. By 1890, his first wife probably had died, since Thomas married Louisa in 1890. All that I know of Thomas’s first wife is that the mother of Anna Kurtz was born in Ohio.

Was this our Thomas C. Kurtz?
Land Procurement – Northern Pacific Railroad749
After the Indian Wars were settled, NPR began to freely move into the area [Montana area]. Delays of construction created by the Indian wars caused significant loss of revenue since settlers wouldn’t come, nor would investors gamble on future profits from land sales. . . . Clark solicited support from TF Oakes (current NPR President), Frederick Billings (Previous NPR President), John B Westbrook (Miles City), and Thomas C Kurtz (from Moorhead, MN). They pooled their resources and established an operating capital of $200,000 and filed for charter in Minneapolis as “Minnesota and Montana Land and Improvement Company.”. . . Filing was performed on March 24, 1882.

There are extensive biographies of Dietrick Lamade on pages 725-729 of the History of Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, editor: John F. Meginness, 1268 page, 1892, online at
(http://www.usgennet.org/usa/pa/county/lycoming/history/lyco-history-01.html); and in a biographical sketch prepared by Damon M. Laabs, online at
(http://www.pabook.libraries.psu.edu/LitMap/bios/Lamade__Dietrick.html).
Here is the Abstract of Damon M. Laabs' biography:
Abstract: Dietrick Lamade, former president and publisher of Grit Magazine of Williamsport, was born on February 6, 1859 in Goelshausen, Germany to Johannes and Caroline Lamade. After immigrating to America, the Lamades settled in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. It was here that a young Dietrick started a long career in the newspaper business. With the money Dietrick saved from previous newspaper jobs and with the help of a small group of investors, he was able to purchase the struggling Saturday edition of Williamsport's Daily Sun and Banner, called Grit. Dietrick used varying marketing ploys that enabled the paper to eventually become the most widely circulated newspaper in rural America by the middle of the 20 th century.
Here is a small excerpt from the Biography:
In 1919 Dietrick's first wife [Clara Anne (Rhene) Lamade] passed away. The two had six children together including Howard J. Lamade, the only person to have served on both the first corporate board of directors of Little League Baseball and the first board of trustees of the Little League Foundation. In Williamsport, the land on which Lamade Stadium sits was donated by the Lamade family after Howard's death in 1958. Every summer, the stadium plays host to the Little League World Series. In 1922, Dietrick married Lourena Davidson Coryell.
