The third of five children of William Worth Chenoweth and Ann Hannah Stump OF Gilmer Co., WV, Curtis married Jessie Hannah Rider on 17 Jun 1903 in Braxton Co., WV. She was the d/o Benjamin Elbert Rider and Julia A. Hyer. Graduated from Harvard. During the First World War, he was a Lieutenant in the 302th Field Armillary serving as a Chaplin from April 4 1918 to July 7, 1919. Curtis and Jessie had five daughters: Maurene, Mary, Edith, Ruth and Rachel
A memory of a grandson - James Chenoweth Potter:
"His family was apparently all Southern Baptists. Whether at the behest of my grandmother, as she was Methodist, my grandfather became a Methodist/Episcopalian minister. His mother disowned him and never wanted to see him again. Religious differences can create so much unhappiness, even today.
My mother was born in Buckhannon, WV and the family moved to Myricks, MA where my grandfather was pastor of a small church there. This must have been around 1911.
My grandfather drove every day to Cambridge and attended Harvard where he received his PhD in Philosophy. First World War intervened and he was a Chaplain during that period. While in England, after the war, he attended Oxford.
When he returned from the war he was offered a position at the University of Idaho in the Philosophy department. Across the street from where they lived in Moscow was the Gauss family. Henry Gauss taught Mechanical Engineering.
Their son Bill Gauss married Rachael Chenoweth. In the Gauss ancestry, they were first sons of first son going back to the prince of mathematicians, Carl Frederic Gauss. What a gene pool that is."
