Biography

Mary was born in 1788. She was the daughter of William Walke and Mary Calvert. She passed away in 1835.

CURTIS, Mary, the wife of Drayton M. Curtis, age 46 years. Departed this life at Deep Creek, Feb 7. She gently ceased to breathe, and sweetly fell asleep at a quarter after 3 o'clock a m to wake no more until that day when "the dead in Christ shall rise first." She was a pattern in these— that she was a woman and she loved her husband with a woman's love. She bore trying reverses and bereavements with meek and Christian resignation. She never jested nor expressed a feeling or sentiment that was not in exact accordance with her heart. She was from youth a very humble and unpretending member of the great society of believers in the crucified Savior, through from providential circumstances, successively connected with the United Brethern, the Presbyterian and the Baptist branches of that society, and in her last distressing illness she complained not. "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."* https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/31633245/mary-calvert-curtis
