The Lake Odessa Wave, Thursday, September 29, 1938
Mrs. Frances Sarah Foght Curtis died at her farm home, northwest of town, 
Friday, Sept. 23, after months of patient illness, at the age of 80 years.  
She was born July 1858, on the old Foght homestead one mile north of Lake 
Odessa where she lived until her marriage to Henry Curtis, September 6, 1877.  
She and her husband were active in the Farmers club of the early years of 
nineteen hundred and were affiliated with the Methodist church here.  She was 
very highly respected and beloved for her sweet, gentle ways, always respected 
wherever she was.  Her young daughter, her husband and later a son Fred Curtis 
have preceded her in death.

She is survived by a son, Charles of Houghton Lake; two sisters, Mrs. Charles 
Champlin and Mrs. Charles Reese, both of Lake Odessa; a brother Frank Foght, 
of Lake Odessa; two grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

The funeral was largely attended at the Methodist church, Sunday afternoon.  
Rev. S. S. Cox of the Calvary U.B. church gave the sermon and a quartet 
composed of Mrs. Matt Armstrong, Mrs. W. C. McCartney, S. W. Dann and Richard 
Sadler sang two hymns accompanied by Mrs. Thomas Johnson.  Burial was at 
Lakeside amid beautiful flowers.
