To all who knew her the announcement of the death of Mrs. E. B. Curtis will bring a sense of personal affliction. She had been confined to her bed for two weeks with typhoid fever but on Saturday was so improved that hopes for her recovery were high. On Sunday a change for the worse came and at clock that evening she quietly passed away Abbie M. Burke was born in Hamilton county, Ohio, August 20, 1841, and was married to E. B. Curtis February 19, 1862, at Crawfordsville where she has since lived and reared a family of loving children, Mrs. G. W. Martin, of Indianapolis, Fannie, Abbie, Bessie, Arthur and Walter. She is a sister to Misses Lida, Kate, Nan, Mell Burke and Oliver, Milt and Marsh Burke. She has long been a faithful member of Center church and in this relation as well as all others made many friends. Her home life was particularly lovable and those whom she leaves motherless will feel a loss from which they will scarcely recover. - thanks to Kim H
