Curtis Reynolds CHARTIER |
According to Diane Chartier Boyd, Curtis Reynolds Chartier ran away from his home in Illinois when he was 11 years old. This is probably an exaggerated age because, Curtis is found living with his family in Chicago when the 1930 census was taken where his age is shown as 15. Curtis made his way to California where he became a professional boxer and wrestler. Diane told Vernon Chartier over the telephone that one time when she visited Knott’s Berry Farm she saw a poster of her father in a boxing pose. Diane also said Curtis’ first wife was a striptease artist and that he was an ardent military man. It seems that at the time Curtis Reynolds Chartier died in Texas, he did not know his father was also living in Texas, which would indicate a strained relationship between father and son. In the September 11, 1959 issue of the El Paso Herald Post, there is a note that says that a divorce was granted between Maria M. Chartier and Curtis R. Chartier. On November 10, 1939 Curtis Reynolds Chartier sailed from Honolulu to Vancouver, B.C. on the S.S. Niagara. He arrived on November 17, 1939. He said his address in the U.S. was “Care Sister; Mrs. W. R. Stevr at 1 Bungalow Ct. in Champaigan, Illinois. The ship sailed back to Honolulu on 22 Nov 1939 and arrived in Honolulu on 29 Nov 1939. Curtis enlisted in the U.S. Army for WWII on 17 Dec 1941 in Los Angeles, California. This, of course, was shortly after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. The enlistment record said he lived in San Bernardino and that he was married. The record also said he had one year of college and was 75” tall and weighed 201 pounds. On Jul 18, 1945 2nd Lt. Curtis R. Chartier arrived in New York Harbor on the General Adolphus W. Greenley.
