Ionia County News, 3 Oct 1946

Mrs. Nellie Curtis, 70, resident of Ionia for many years and known throughout 
Ionia city and county, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Vernon J. Sharp, 
in Battle Creek at ten o’clock Tuesday morning, Oct. 1, after a long period of 
ill health.

Mrs. Curtis was born in Easton township, Nov. 26, 1876.  She was married in 
February, 1896, to William J. Conner, of Easton, and with the exception of six 
years in which they lived in Ionia, their married life was spent on their farm 
in Easton.  Mr. Conner died in February, 1921, and five years later Mrs. Conner 
was married to Earl J. Curtis, who survives her.  She had been at the home of 
her daughter in Battle Creek since June.

A regular attendant at the Ionia Church of Christ, Mrs. Curtis was also a 
member of Queen Esther Chapter, O.E.S., Beatrice Rebekah Lodge, and its Past 
Noble Grand club, and the Berlin Center Grange.  She was active in Red Cross 
work and for many years sold real estate and insurance in Ionia.

Surviving Mrs. Curtis, besides her husband and daughter, are two brothers, 
Charles McCord of Sears and Merritt McCord, Ionia, and two grandchildren.

Rev. Wayne Davis will officiate at the funeral service which will be held from 
the Ionia Church of Christ at two o’clock Friday afternoon.
