Edith Roelker Curtis (1893–1977) was a New England author, historian, and diarist. ==Early life, education, and social activities== Edith Goddard Roelker was born on July 29, 1893 to William and Eleanor (Jenckes) Roelker. Her mother's roots in Rhode Island stretched back to the colonial era, and Edith grew up in a privileged environment on an East Greenwich homestead and in a city residence in Providence. With the marriage strained by Eleanor's alcoholism, the Roelkers divorced in 1901. Edith attended school in Providence and lived for a time with an aunt in Cincinnati. She subsequently attended the elite Miss Porter's School in Farmington, Connecticut between 1909 and 1912 but left before receiving a degree. She made her society debut in 1912.〔Edith Byron, biographical notes, Edith Roelker Curtis Papers, Sophia Smith Collection, Northampton, MA.〕 Two years later, she married Charles Pelham Curtis, Jr., a Harvard Law student and member of a similarly distinguished Boston family. Charles became a partner at the Choate, Hall & Stewart firm, and the couple lived in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood until they moved to Norfolk, Massachusetts in 1924. They had five children: Sarah (called Sally) (b. 1915), Anita (b. 1917), Charles (b. 1919), William, and Richard. During the First World War, Edith volunteered for the Red Cross. She was active in Boston club life, becoming a member of the Nucleus, Chilton Club, and Boston Sewing Circle (a predecessor to the Junior League), among others. The clubs functioned as hubs of high society, but Edith also participated in the cultural events and volunteer activities sponsored by the groups. She maintained an interest in literary and social organizations throughout her life.〔Edith Byron, biographical notes, Edith Roelker Curtis Papers, Sophia Smith Collection, Northampton, MA.〕
