Medford (Oregon) Mail, Friday, 2 Feb 1901, p. 2, c. 2
Death of Mrs. Curry. After almost a year of painful suffering, Mrs. John W. 
Curry died at the home of her mother in this city, last Monday morning at two 
o’clock. For several weeks her life had been despaired of, and only the 
tenderest care could suffice to keep away the scepter of death until her 
husband, J. W. Curry, who has been employed in the census office at 
Washington, D. C., could arrive to be at her bedside, while in life. He 
arrived at twelve o’clock Monday night, just two hours before the final 
summons came. Mrs. Curry was a native of Jackson County, having been born on 
the farm, near Medford, on which her father, the late Francis M. Plymale 
settled in the early days of Jackson County’s history, and she has resided 
here almost continuously during the thirty-four years of her life.
   On November 13, 1887, she was married to J. W. Curry, who, with three young 
children, a mother, two sisters and two brothers, survive her. Naturally 
possessed of a tender, loving disposition, true and faithful to home and 
friends, patient and hopeful in times of sorrow and tribulations, which is a 
portion we all must bear, a loving wife and mother, she had enthroned herself 
high in the estimation of acquaintances, and endeared herself in the 
affections of friends and relatives who knew her as she was. Her loss is an 
occasion of profound sorrow. Sad is the event which removes from the earth one 
whose place cannot be filled, and sadder still, when little ones are bereft 
thus early in life of the care and teachings which alone a mother can give. To 
the afflicted ones the heartfelt sympathy of everyone is extended.
   The funeral services were held last Wednesday afternoon, from the residence 
of her mother, Mrs. Jane E. Plymale, Rev. Crandall, pastor of the Baptist 
church, officiating. The remains were laid to rest in the Odd Fellows cemetery 
in this city, where legions of friends and acquaintances assembled to bid 
farewell to one whose image will be seen no more upon this sphere. The last 
sad rites were performed amid reverential silence and bowed heads, symbolic of 
the deep sorrow which filled their hearts. She who was honored and loved on 
earth was, with many kind words of sympathy and condolence, to those whose 
loss is great, indeed, transferred to her heavenly home.
