Mrs. Charity Curlis
-------------------
Dies at the Home of her Son, one-half Mile East of Sycamore.

At 5:15 p.m. Sunday, July 1, 1900, the spirit of Charity Curlis answered to the summons and took its flight to Him who gave it. She had gone to visit at the home of her son for a short time and while there was stricken down.

The deceased was the daughter of Thos. U. and Elizabeth (Hawk) Snover and was born in Warren County, New Jersey, February 27, 1827. In her 13th year with her parents she emigrated to Ohio arriving here June 12, 1839, after a tedious journey of 40 days and settled on a farm, one-half mile south of Bellevernon near which place she has always lived until three years ago last April she became a resident of Sycamore. February 22, 1844 she was married to David H. Curlis who preceded her to the spirit world on November 3, 1895. To them were born seven children, all living but one. For nearly 60 years she has tried to live a Christian life, being a member of the M. E. Church of this place. She has set an example for her children, which was worthy of their imitation. She was a true wife and a loving, indulgent mother. She had attained the ripe age of 73 years, 4 months and 4 days and to the writer she had always expressed herself as "having a desire to depart and be with Christ," where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest. Her voice and her presence will be missed as only a true mother can.

Deceased had been a great sufferer from rheumatism for over 30 years. This with heart disease and a complication of diseases incident to old age, was the immediate cause of death. The funeral services took place from the residence of her son James on Tuesday morning, conducted by Prof. R. Parsons of Delaware University, who pronounced a fitting eulogy on her life. Interment took place at Oak Hill cemetery.

David H. Curlis

At 30 Minutes past 8:00 o'clock, Sabbath morning, November 3rd, 1895, the spirit of David H. Curlis bade adieu to the tenement of clay and earthly friends and ascended to Him who gave it. The deceased was born on Sussex County, New Jersey, September 13th, 1816, being at the time of his death 79 years, 1 month and 21 days. He resided in his native state until he was 23 years of age, at which time with his parents he emigrated to this county, it then being a part of Crawford county, and settled on a farm south of Belle Vernon where he has resided ever since. In the winter of 1842 he embraced religion at a protracted meeting held in the meeting house of Mr. John Morris and up to the time of his death endeavored to live a consistent christian life. The deceased was married February 22nd, 1844, to Charity Snover, who with one sister, Mrs. W. R. Morris, three sons and four daughters, survive him. Mr. Curlis was one of the oldest settlers living in this community having settled here in the spring of 1839, while the country round about was almost one unbroken forest. He was a kind husband and father, a good neighbor and citizen and through his death the community has lost one who was ever ready to lend a helping hand to those who were in need. Since March last he had been suffering with bright's disease and an affliction of the heart. His health had gradually failed him during which time he had often expressed himself as "having his work done and being ready to do," and so he passed peacefully and quietly into the great beyond. The funeral obsequies took place from his late residence on Tuesday, at 10:00 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. B. J. Mills, who discoursed from the words found in First Corinthians, 3rd chapter and 22nd verse: "Whether Paul, or Appollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present or things to come; all are your's." After which the funeral procession formed and proceeded to the Pleasant Ridge Cemetery, where the remains were quietly laid away to rest. Peace to his ashes.

David H. Curlis Dead
--------------------
One of the Pioneer Residents of Wyandot County Passes Away

David H. Curlis, one of the old and highly respected pioneers of Wyandot county died at his late residence in Tymochtee township, Sunday morning at 8:00 o'clock. Deceased had been ill but a short time, death being due partially to old age assisted by Bright's disease.

From the History of Wyandot county (1884) we take the following:
"He was a native of Sussex county, N. J., and was born September 13, 1816. He is the eldest son of Jacob and Charity (Albertson) Curlis who were natives of the same State, of English and Holland descent. They were married in their native State by Rev. James Woolsey, August 4, 1808, and there remained till 1839, when they moved to Ohio and purchased a farm in Tymochtee Tp., the same farm being now owned by our subject. While in New Jersey, Jacob Curlis followed blacksmithing, but also owned a farm, and engaged in his trade several years in this county, resuming his farm work in 1847. In 1841, he erected the dwelling in which his son now lives. Three of the seven children survive, viz.: David H., John F. and Sarah. The mother died February 1, 1859, the father February 3, 1872, their respective ages being sixty-nine and eighty-five years. David H. Curlis, the subject of this notice, was married February 22, 1844, to Charity Snover, who was born in Warren county, N. J., February 22, 1827. She was the daughter of Thomas H. and Elizabeth (Hawk) Snover, who were also born in New Jersey, and were married in that State in April, 1825. Her father was a blacksmith. He moved to Ohio in 1839, settling in this township where he purchased land and afterward engaged in farming. The four surviving children are William H., Marsha B., Lemuel and Charity. The father died in September, 1844; his widow in August 1873. Mr. and Mrs. Curlis are parents of seven children ; Cecilia A., Rachel M., Sarah C., Laura J., Jacob C., James L., and John D. Mr. Curlis was engaged on the farm for some time but was many years in the blacksmith trade, which he still works at occasionally. In 1851, he purchased eighty acres, and though meeting with some reverses in the failure of crops, he has by the aid of a friend or two, succeeeded in accumulating 288 acres of valuable land. He served as Trustee four years, as Justice of the Peace three years; as Treasurer two years. Both he and Mrs. Curlis are members of the Evangelical Association. They were connected with the Methodist Episcopal church from 1841 to 1859, in which society Mr. Curlis was class leader and exhorter."

The funeral will odccur from his late [residence].
