Emerancy M. Caldwell was born October 28, 1825, in Onandaga County, New York. She moved with her parents to Porter County, Indiana at the age of 12. She was united in marriage to James M. Curtis November 24, 1842. To this union eight children were born, four of whom, Mrs. W. F. Campbell, Mrs. Z. E. Peck, both of Palmer, L. K. Curtis of Wheatland, Wyoming, and Chas. Curtis of Callaway, Nebraska, survive her.
She moved with her two sons to Merrick County, Nebraska in October 1878, where she lived until August 1904, when she with her son Chas moved to Callaway, Nebraska, where she lived at the time of her death, July 27,1915 at the age of 89 years and nine months.
She was converted at the age of 16, and united with the Methodist Episcopal church, of which organization she was a consistent member for over seventy years.
As the death dew gathered upon her brow her children were at her bedside to see that everything possible was done for her comfort. Through the rest of their lives the memory of her unselfish devotion will make them better men and women, and her precepts be their guiding star.
The funeral was held from the Christian Church in Palmer on Friday July 30, Reverend Bishop officiating.
