Life story
Inez Larayne Curtis was born on 11 July 1929 in Yellow Medicine County, in western Minnesota, the youngest of the six children of Arthur Garfield Curtis and Hazel Lucile Cook; her birth was registered as Inez Lorraine.1 Her eldest sister, Verna, was nineteen years older. In April 1930 the baby, "Inez L.", was at home in the village of Maynard, Chippewa County, with her parents, her sisters Madge and Adelaide and her brother, Arthur.2 Ten years later she was still at Maynard with her parents and Arthur; her father was working as a carpenter on a government construction project.3
Inez married a Mr. Tallard and moved to Oregon. She was "Inez Tallard of Sandy, Ore." when her mother died in 1978, and "of Milwaukie, Ore." when her sister Adelaide died in 1995; both in Clackamas County, in the Portland area.4–5 Her last home was at Troutdale, east of Portland, and she died on 1 April 2001 in Multnomah County, aged seventy-one.6–7
