Obit

Martha Carolina's obituary was published in the Courier on 14 October 1915:
Martha Carolina Jones Curtis was born Jan. 13^th, 1882, departed this life Sept. 23^rd, 1915. J.W. Curtis and Martha C. Curtis were united in marriage May 15^th, 1903. There were born unto them five children, four of whom still survive. On Jan. 25^th, 1905, the angel messenger came and carried little Edith away and Feb. 18^th, he came and took Aunt Lou Curtis, again he came, on Sept. 23^rd, and carried away the mother and wife. The messenger has come into this home three times in one year. This is unusual.
Sister Curtis became a Christian very early in life, and joined the church at Gray’s Chapel, later moved her membership to Liberty where she continued to live a consistent Christian life. When a girl she was an active Christian worker. She was a devoted wife and mother. Her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Madison Jones, of Gray’s Chapel, husband and children, and many friend and relatives are sadly bereaved, but they can look through the shadows, and see the light of a blessed immortality, and expect to meet her in the mansions above. Liberty church has lost one of its best members, the community one of its best women. The funeral service was held of Sept. 24, 1915, in Liberty M.P. church conducted by her pastor, and assisted by Revs. W. C. Kennett, Spruil, Willis, (last two Baptist) and Rev. J.A. Ledbetter assisted in the singing. There was, perhaps, the largest gathering ever seen in Liberty on a funeral occasion. Many and beautiful were the floral designs. The beautiful and impressive service of the Eastern Star was performed at the grave. Bro. Curtis and his four little children have the sympathy of their many friends and relatives.⁴

Obit

Edith's obituary was published in the Courier on 4 February 1915:
On Friday morning, January 22, 1915, the spirit of little Edith Curtis took its flight from the arms of earthly parents to the bosom of her Heavenly Father. Her stay of a little over four years had filled her home with sunshine and the hearts of its inmates with joy. Outside the home the little light shone especially in the Sunday School which she loved so much. The little spirit has been transferred from the Sunday School and home to the Sabbath Service and home above.
We gratefully recognize the goodness of God in giving this little one, for even so short a time, and how submissively to the will of Him who gave and who has taken his own. We extend to the parents and little sisters and only wish we could say something to bind the bruised hearts.
One by one, the bonds are severed
Binding hearts together here;
One by one, new, ties are added
To the hand that knows no care.
And just beyond the trial of foes
Her spirit rests in sweet repair. – Aunt Sallie.³
