The Lyons Herald, June 7, 1906
During the past month Lyons had contributed more than its share of people to 
the heavenly world, the last to join the happy throng being Phoebe S. Curtis, 
wife of Alfred A. Curtis, who departed this life Thursday, May 31, 1906, aged 
82 years, 7 months and 20 days.  Her last illness was long and painful, yet 
she endured it with patience and fortitude.  

Phoebe S. Bradbury was born in Schenectady, New York, October 11, 1823, and 
was married to Alfred A. Curtis April 14, 1842, and for 64 years they walked 
life’s pathway together, the union proving a most happy one.  In 1866 they 
came to Lyons, moving into their present home, and becoming among our best and 
most highly respected citizens.  At the age of 12 years deceased was converted 
and united with the Presbyterian Church and in the faith she lived and 
died.  “Slight of body, sweet spirited and filled with heart loyalty, no 
picture in memory’s hall will longer endure than that of her who was a wife, 
mother, friend, and who in all was faithful.”

An aged husband, five children, Mrs. Geo. Faxon, Henry Curtis, Clarence 
Curtis, Daniel Curtis, all of Lyons, and Mrs. W. A. Jenner of New York City, 
and 12 grandchildren survive.  

The funeral services were held from the home Saturday afternoon, being 
conducted by Rev. H. E. Wylie, assisted by the following choir: Mrs. Bradt, 
Mrs. Steadman, W. R. Grant and John Hale with Miss Beatrice Anderson as 
accompanist.  The floral offerings were many and beautiful.  The pall bearers 
were Daniel Curtis, Henry Curtis, Clarence Curtis and Geo. D. Faxon.  
Interment in Lyons cemetery.

you all.
