When she was five years old the family moved to near Nemaha. Three years later her father passed away. Golda grew up and went to school in the Nemaha Community, where she was to live almost all of her life.

Two children were born to this marriage: a daughter, Margie Josephine, who died at the age of 14 months, and a son, Ora, who survives. Mr. Curttright died October 15, 1957. Since his death Mrs. Curttright has continued to spend most of her time in Nemaha except for a brief time when she lived in Auburn.
