Editing Ezra H. Curtis (section)

=== Abandoning Cedar City for Northern Utah  ===

After the dual disasters of the massacre and the failure of the ironworks in Cedar City, Curtis and his family joined the exodus from that troubled settlement. They moved north to Provo where he pursued farming. 

During the late 1860s, Curtis was in the militia and played some role in the Mormon-Native American conflict known as the Black Hawk War. In the ''Centennial History of Sevier County,'' published in 1947, Ezra Curtis was remembered as a noted veteran of that conflict.
