The death of Sarah Angeline Curtis, widow of H. W. Curtis, came rather unexpectedly at 5:00 o’clock Tuesday afternoon at the home of her son, Geo. W. Curtis, in Mt. Pulaski.

Mrs. Curtis had been in failing health for some time and had been staying the past few days with her son. She suffered a heart attack Tuesday morning and, at her advanced age, her condition was considered serious.

Funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 2:00 from her home at the corner of Vine and Cook, with Rev. Gilbert Zink, pastor of the Williamsville Christian church, officiating.

Burial will be at Steenbergen cemetery southwest of the city.
