   Curtis M Willock of Pittsburg, Penna, one of the younger members of the
   bar, was born in Allegheny City, Penna, December 17, 1875, son of Samuel
   M Willock and Linda Haines Willock, both surviving and residing in
   Allegheny City, Penna. The great grandfather of Curtis M Willock,
   Alexander Willock and his brother, Noble Willock, were two of the original
   107 voters of the first registry list of the county compiled in 1804.

   The ancestry of the Willock family is of Scotch descent. Alexander
   Willock settled in Pittsburghin 1792, and kept the first inn opened in
   that city. In 1815 he and his family removed to what is now known as
   Willock Station on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad where he spent the
   remainder of his life. The grandfather of the subject of this sketch was
   born at Willock Station and engaged in agricultural pursuits until his
   death in 1892. The father of Curtis M was born on the old homestead farm
   at Willock Station in 1841, and is now proprietor of the Waverly oil
   works of Pittsburg.

   Curtis M Willock was graduated at Princeton University in 1896 and from
   Harvard Law School in 1899 and was admitted to the bar at Pittsburg,
   March 24, 1900. He is a member of all courts, stands well with his fellow
   members of the bar, and controls a good practice.
   He was married in Pittsburgh, May 3, 1900, to Mary C Stevenson, daughter
   of John Stevenson Jr of Sharon, Penna, and their home life is an ideal
   one. Mr Willock is secretary of the Voters' civic league, member of the
   Third Presbyterian Church, and resides in the twentieth ward.
