  THE CHARITON DEMOCRAT Chariton, Iowa Friday, January 19, 1900 MRS. LOT CURTIS The announcement of the sudden death of Mrs. Lot Curtis at her home in this city on Wednesday evening, January 17, brought sadness to the hearts of many people. In the afternoon she had attended the funeral services of Miss Leota Howard. She returned home about 4:30 o'clock and in a few minutes was stricken with paralysis and died about 7:30 the same evening. Miss Martha Jane Tracy was born March 29, 1827. She was married to I. H. Sigler on December 25, 1851. To them were born six children, four of whom, Rev. M. J. Sigler of Waterloo, H. H. Sigler, W. A. Sigler and Mrs. L. S. Hedges of this city, are living. Her husband died and she was again married on July 15, 1890, to Mr. Lot Curtis, who survives her. At the age of fourteen she was converted and has been a faithful member of the Baptist church for fifty-nine years. Her name was not simply on the roll book, but her life conformed to the teachings of the meek and lowly Saviour. She was truly an exemplary woman, having a life full of good deeds. Those who were acquainted with her for years are the ones who testify most strongly of her fidelity and pure character. Such a life as hers makes the world better and they are always missed. To the bereaved husband and children sympathy is manifest. Funeral services, conducted by Rev. A. Jacobs, of Winterset, will be held at the Baptist church this morning at ten o'clock and the remains will be interred in the Goshen cemetery.
