The Belding News, Thursday, December 29, 1904


Mrs. Asher Divine died at her home in Doland, South Dakota, last Thursday, 
after several months of poor health, a severe attack of grip being the chief 
cause of her death.

Sabrina Curtis was born in Ingersoll, Ont., in 1857.  When eight years old, 
she removed with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jonas Curtis, to Michigan, locating 
at what was then known as Fish’s Mill, in Otisco township.  A year or two 
later, her father purchased the farm now owned by Ja.s Gore out on Greenville 
road, in Eureka township, where they resided several years.  Later her father 
sold that place and bought  farm a mile farther north, where she grew to 
womanhood and where her parents still reside.  In 1882 Miss Curtis accompanied 
D. P. Fargo and family (and several other people from this vicinity, among 
them being Asher Divine) to Doland, South Dakota, where she homesteaded 160 
acres of government land.  Two years after their arrival there, she and Mr. 
Divine were married.

Besides the many friends left to mourn her untimely demise is a husband, two 
sons aged 18 and 15 years, respectively, father and mother, one brother and 
five sisters, as follows: Barney C. Curtis and Mrs. A. J. Osborne, of this 
city; Mrs. Pink Nicholas, of Chicago; Mrs. Bert Norton, of Otisco; and Mrs. 
Ella Bunker and Mrs. Hattie Swartzloff, of Eureka.

The remains arrived here today, accompanied by Mr. Divine, and were taken to 
the home of her parents where funeral services will be held tomorrow, Friday, 
at 10:00 a.m.  Interment in Forest Hill cemetery, Greenville.
