Her age was about 80 years and for many years she has been a resident of Dexter. Previously to her marriage to Mr. Curtis she was for some time a missionary to Japan, and on her return to this country she brought with her two Japanese girls who made their home with her and were educated in the Dexter schools. Besides her husband, she leaves a daughter; Mrs. Ada Barr of Omaha, Neb., and a son, Charles Veile of Taylorsville, N. C. The funeral arrangements have not yet been announced. The funeral of Mrs. Charles W. Curtis was held from the home on Spring street Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. S. G.. Spear, pastor of the Universalist church, officiating. The bearers were Messrs. J. Willis Crosby, Samuel Moore, George L. Morrison and Wilson P. Hamilton. The remains were placed in the receiving tomb at Mount Pleasant cemetery.
