I'm researching my wife's relatives and ran across your memorial for Mary E Still Curtis, with death date given as 27 Jun 1898. However, I found her in both the 1900 and 1910 US Censuses. In 1900 she is widowed with Joseph, Hattie, and Charlie living with her in Smith County, Texas. In 1910 she is living in Rusk County, Texas with her daughter (Sue E Whetstone Gray) from a previous marriage to Perry Whetstone. I have not found a specific date of death for Mary, but it looks like it would be after the 1910 Census was enumerated.
