visited this community and taken
from our midst one of the old
and highly respected residents
Of ,ColgatesN. d. This time he
claimed for himself the loving
and devoted wife of Halsey S.
Curry. She has been a sufferer
from heart trouble for the past
ten years and during the past
five months has suffered contin-
ually and many times expressed
a desire to have the end come.
She went peacefully last Thurs
day at 2:45 p. M, remaining con-
scious up to a few hours before
she died.
Cynthia Amelia Tyler, daugh-
ter of John and Emile Tyler, was
born in Burlington, Ia. Oct. 9
1916 and died March 80, 1906,
aged 60.years 5 months and 20
days. When years of age she
moved with her parents to Wat
terstown, Grant county, Wis.
That country was yetsaory new,
and the family fully realized the
many trials of pioneer life. Here
she received her education also
christian training, her father be-
ing one of the first to unite with
the Congregational church at Bos-
cobel, Wis. and with his family
attended as regular as opportun-
ity offered. Her father was called
home when she was yet quite
young and up to the time of her
marriage she was a faithful
daughter to her mother ever
ready to help where most need
ed. She was united in marriage
to Halsey S. Curry Sept. 4, 1864.
He was a veteran of the Civil war
at that time and home on a sick
furlough having received a gun
shot wound through the hand.
His fair bride looked upon her
soldier husband with pride and
altho the struggle was hard to
bear she parted with him bravely
when he returned to again fight
for his country. At the close of
the war he. returned to make a
home for her and moved to Mich
igan where they lived few years
later returning to Wisconsin.
To them were born eight child
rem all of whom are living and
were constantly at her bedside
during the last week of her ILL.,
ness. In 1881 the family moved
to North Dakota and settled on
their farm in. ElIsbury, Barnes
county, where they resided for a
number of years, later moving
] to Colgate, Steele county. Dur
ing these years they endured
much of pioneer life and have
had all their household goods de-
stroyed by fire twice in this time
yet together they toiled for the
loved ones who today weep as
never before for the dear wife
and mother In those pioneer
days Mrs. Curry extended char
| ity where needed and many Of
the old residents will remember
her kindly. She was a devoted
wife and mother, very fond of
her home and cared but little for
outside affairs. She was a strong
advocate of total abs stinence and
was a member of the Relief
Corps at Hope. Rev. Hunter, of
| Colgate, visited her at times dur
ing her illness and left her feel
ing that all was well with her
for the future. She was very
patient and resigned and ready
to 60 when the final summons
came. The last sad rites were
were held in the Congregational
church in Hope, Rev. Hitchcock
officiating taking his text from
Numbers %; 26. His remarks
were kind and tender yet fitting
for all present. The music was
we'll rendered. The pail bearers
were those who had known her
i a long time. The floral tributes
!, were Of the choicest, being con.
tributed by fond relatives and
