Alter a lingering Illness OF n1nS
weeks, Mrs. Ellen Curry mother OF
MIR, F. E. Twitty, died at the latter's
home in this city yesterday morning
about 10 o'clock.
Mrs. Curry's maiden name was Ell
len Paul. She was born Nov. s, 1886,
in Wadesboro, N. c., and was gradual
ed at Carolina Female college, of An
dersonville, n. c., in 1855. The fol
lowing year she was married to Prof.
c. r. Twitty, who then occupied the
chair of Ancient languages in that col
lege. He died in 1878, having removed
to Georgia some years previously. In
1882 Mrs. Curry was married to the
Rev. w. l.. Curry, and they resided
for many years at Pelham, Ca, where
the latter died in October, 1907 Upon
his death Mrs. Curry came to Bruns-
wick to live with Mr.. Twitty and mas
resided here ever since.
Mrs Curry belonged to that type
of Southern womanhood developed by
the trying periods of war and recon
struction. Before her health was i'm
paired by two serious attacks of pneu-
monia few years ago, she was vlgor-
Gus and energetic, and with ability to
meet and overcome difficulties rarely
found except among the women who
shared with her the crisis of her time.
She was of bright and cheerful dis
position and had subtle sense of hu
NOR. After coming to Brunswick she
was thrown much with young people,
of whom she was particularly fond.
She loved them and they loved her
not with the love of youth for age
and age for youth, but with the love
that grows from having interests in
common.
Early in life Mrs. Curry joined the
Baptist church and was always a con-
sistent member, living a consecrated
Christian life. Until her impaired
health prevented, she took an active
part in church work.
Perhaps the highest testimonial to
her high character. and unselfishness
was the affection in which she was
held by her stepchildren 1t was Ter
lot to rear three sets of children, two
sets of step children among them.
These were raised as one family, and
the stepchildren looked upon her as
their mother
