Stephen Curtis

Chenango Semi-Weekly Telegraph, June 3, 1891

Stephen Curtis died May 26th, 1891.  The funeral services were largely attended at the house  May 28th, conducted by Rev. LC. Hayes.  Mr. Curtis was fifty-one years of age and a life resident of this vicinity.  He was one of thirty-seven that were baptized by Rev. A.M. Totman twenty-one years ago and joined the Free Baptist Church of Holmesville of which he remained a member until his death and during all these years, until his health failed him, was our tenor singer.  His name was always down for the support of the ministry and the church expenses, he was the business clerk from his conversion.  If all members were as peaceable as Stephen Curtis there would be no contention in our churches.  His four brothers, Oscar, Joseph, Frank and Edwin, and their wives came to see him the Sunday previous to his death.  He seemed much pleased and knew them all, but never realized much after that.  He leaves a wife and little daughter to mourn the loss of a very kind and indulgent husband and father, and the chruch and community at large deeply mourn the loss of our brother and friend.  His remains were placed in the South New Berlin Cemetery.
