Emily Curtis, wife of James Mahuran [Mahurin]. The

Subject of this sketch was born in Northumberland,

N.H., January 14, 1820, and was married in Stratford,

N.H. in 1852, and moved to Minnesota in 1867.

She leaves a husband and four children to mourn her

loss. Mrs. F. A. [Isabelle] Baker, Mrs George T. [Katie]

Albro, and Mrs. H. B. [Etta] Turner, living in Spring

Valley, and Mrs. C.D. [Clara] Washburn of Owatonna

were present at the time of her death. She was a

great sufferer, her disease being a virulent tumor,

but she bore her sufferings with patience and chris-

tian fortitude, and evinced a perfect willingness to die,

her only regret being to part from her family.

She was a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal

Church for the last twenty-five years. Services

were held at the house.
