Mrs. Malinda Curd, wife of J. T. Curd, died at her home, some three miles from Burgin, Tuesday afternoon, December 26th, at 20 minutes past 5 o'clock. She was born May 3, 1841, and was, therefore, in the 71st year of her age. Her maiden name was Poore, her father's family consisting of seven children, only two of whom are now living, Mrs. Hackley and Mrs., Hamilton, of Garrard County. She was married to J. T. Curd at her father's home, by Rev. S. Cook, May 1st, 1862, and had she lived a few months longer, she would have walked the path of life together 50 years. The troubles incident to life were theirs, just as they belong to all, but truly this union was a happy one. They lived for each other, and were neve happier than when in each other's company. To them were born 5 children, four of whom survive her, A. W. and John R. Curd, Mrs James Campbell and Mrs. W. D. King, all of them of Mercer County. The other Daughter, Mrs. Sarah Campbell, died some few years ago.
Mrs. Curd became a member of Shawnee Run Church, of which her husband for many years has been a deacon, about 40 years ago, having been baptized by the same preacher who married her, Rev. S. Cook. For 18 years I have been her pastor and I can truly say she has been faithful to her Lord and the Church. She loved the house of God and was always there when it was possible. She was extremely unselfish, lving for the welfare of her family and community. She always had a good word for every one. She saw virtures instead of vices. She was kind to all, cheerful to the last, and deeply pious. Mrs. Curd was indeed a devoted wife, a good mother, and a kind friend. The hungry never left her door unfed. None knew her but to love her. Her pastor will sadly miss her, as well as all who knew her. She was buried in the Shawnee Run burial ground, December 28th, after funeral services by the writer, in the presence of a large concourse of friends and relatives.
"Warm summer sun, shine kindly here,
Warn southern wind, blow softly here,
Green sod above, lie light! lie light!
Good night, dear heart, good night, good night.
