Daughter of Newbury Button of CT, Revolutionary Patriot.
True Daughter designation.
Mrs. L. J. Curtis is Dead.
SHE PASSED AWAY SUNDAY
End Came Peacefully While Mrs. Curtis Was Sitting In Chair.
Mrs. Bedotha Pierpont, widow of Lemuel J. Curtis, passed away at her home, 128 Curtis street, at 9 o'clock Sunday night, aged 89 years and four months. The cause of death was infirmities brought on by advanced age.
Mrs. Curtis was seated in her chair in the bedroom when the end came. The two nurses, Mrs. Ovid Warner and Miss Gunn, were in an adjoining room when the invalid's labored breathing attracted their attention.
Mrs. Curtis lived but a moment after they reached her side, and appeared merely to fall asleep. She did not speak.
No change in her condition during the day had led those near her to anticipate the approach of death, and, while the end was known to be not far distant, the sudden demise came as a shock to her many friends.
Mrs. Curtis was the last of her generation.
A life long friend of Mrs. Isaac C. Lewis, Mrs. W. W. Lyman and Mrs. Eugenia E. Stow, she survived them all. She watched beside the deathbed of her husband more than ten years ago, and also saw her two children, Celia and Adelaide, pass on before.
A life long Christian in the true acceptance of the term, she lived beyond the allotted three score years and ten, an earnest worker in all matters pertaining to Christianity, the friend of the poor and the orphan.
But one relative survives her, a grandchild, Mrs. Jessie Parker Morris of Hamilton, Ontario.
Lemuel J. Curtis, founder of the Curtis Home, died in January, 1888. His widow was stricken with rheumatism during the fall of the same year, and had since been confined to her house. Two nurses, one day and one night, have been constantly in attendance.
—————————
Deceased was born in North Haven in June, 1810. Her maiden name was Bedotha Pierpont Button. On December 24, 1835, she married Lemuel J. Curtis, the ceremony being performed by Rev. Edward Ingersoll in St. Andrew's church.
Their two children were Celia and Adelaide, the latter marrying John E. Parker.
Mrs. Curtis was a member of St. Andrews' church, and during her younger days, an ardent worker in circles.
