Curtis McCollum

On Friday, August 21st, 1914, Curtis McCollum,
engineer on the Chicago & Milwaukee
division, died at .the home of his daughter,
Mrs. J. M. Biddison, 3328 McKinley boulevard, Milwaukee, Wis.

Mr. McCollum was em­ployed as a fireman on the Milwaukee &
Mississippi railroad (now the P. C. D. division
of the C.. M. & St. P. Rv.) in 1862 and was promoted to be an engineer in 1865. After the Chicago & Milwaukee division was built Mr.
McCollum transferred to this division. In
1880, when the Grand Army of the Republic held their encampment in Milwaukee, Mr. McCollum had charge of engine No. 209, which
handled the special train of Gen. U. S. Grant
and Gen. P. H. Sheridan from Chicago to Milwaukee.
Mr. Fred D. Underwood, now presi­dent of the Erie Ry., was the conductor of the
train which made the run from Chicago to Milwaukee in eighty-four minutes. In 1885
Mr. McCollum was appointed traveling engi­neer of all divisions out of Milwaukee, which position he held successfully for sixteen years, resigning in 1901 to become again an active engineer on the C. & M. division.

Curtis McCollum was born in Massachusetts
in 1845, and was a great-grandson of Gen.
Nathaniel Greene, of Revolutionary fame. He came to Wisconsin to live when a young man and in December, 1871, was married to Frances
Silvernail Packard, who died several years ago.
