Death of Mrs. R. T. Curlin.
Mrs. Jennie L. Curlin, wife of Robt T.
Curlin, died at home in Union Gty Moiw
day afternoon. Mar. 17, 1919, at 2 o'clock
after an illness covering a period of thirty,
five years. ',
Mrs. Curlin was the daughter of Robt.
and Mary E. Watson, and was reared
to womanhood in the family home ai
Madrid Bend, Ky., seventeen miles
north of Tiptonville, Tenn. She was
born March 20, 1857, therefore was
nearly 62 years of age. On October 28,
1878, she was united in marriage to
R. T. Curlin. One child was born to
the union, a girl, who lived only twenty
two months.
Mrs.' Curlin is survived by her hus
band, her mother, a sister, Mrs. Fred
Dabnke, Union City, and a "brother,
Daniel, who lives in Texas.
Locating after marriage with Mr.
Curlin in Union City, Mrs. Curlin
joined the Methodist Church in 1879.
She was a charter member of the Wom
an's Missionary Society of this church.
She was a woman of rare mental quali
ties arid serenely beautiful character.
It was therefore not strange that she
accepted her suffering with a philo
sophical spirit and a deep and abiding
trust in God. The minister thus spoke
of her illness:
For thirty-five years she had been a
sufferer from rheumatism, which be
came more acute with the passing of
time, and for over three years she has
been a helpless invalid. Few people
have ever suffered so long and so acute
ly; certainly there has not been another
in all this community that has endured
such intense and prolonged physical
distress. Yet she refused to have her
sense of suffering deadened by the use
Of palliatives, so she drank the cup of
suffering to the dregs. The same reso
lution that enabled her to suffer also
kept her courageous, so that whoever
saw her in her sickness could hardly
realize how great her bodily agony.
"If life is a school with a lesson for
each one, then Sister Curlin learned her
lesson through the course of physical
suffering. That she accepted her lot
with superlative courage all must agree
That she became rich of soul, having
learned that earth had no resting place
for her, and therefore heaven, ths hope
of the soul, becami) the more real to
her, we all believe."
Through the heroic efforts of her
husband, .who has long been known
and universally esteemed as one of the
leading merchants of this part of the
state, a peer in his profession, above all
a man whose trust in God and in the
beautiful life that was given to his keep
ing never faltered, every available to-
source in northern and southern climate,
in medical skill and in the leading san
itariums was placed at the disposal of
the patient, but all to no avail. Mrs.
Curlin came home at last sweetly con
scious of all that had been done for her
and patiently resigned until death
should release the imprisoned soul to
the God who gave it.
Returning to her early life, Mrs.
Curlin was reared in the most favorable
environments, in a community of most
excellent people, known as the first
families of the particular locality of
Madrid Bend. She attended the local
schools and completed a -college course
in Saint Agnes Academy at Memphis.
As stated before, the graces of acconv
plished and beautiful womanhood had
been hers to offer upon,, the altar of
life's devotion and to consecrate to the
loVe of her Maker, This trust was kept
in imperishable faith and glorified in
fulfillment.
Services were held at the Methodist
Church Tuesday afternoon, the casket
in the altar with the body in sweet re
pose, and above and around it a tribute
of beautiful flowers." Rev. G. J. Evans,
the pastor, read from Psalms 23 and
from I Cor., 13. "Abide With Me,"
a ong offering by Mrs. Thad Lee, then
the minister's eulogy and the remains
WBre conveyed to the City Cemetery for
burial.

Mrs. Smyth G. Allen,
. Union City, Tenn.
Dear Sir:
You ask me what I think of the
Cleveland Tractor. I can only say that
as for myself I think it is the only
practical tractor for the farmer. My
reason is this. It is so simple and so
easy to handle, and you can put it in a
place that a horse can go, and many
places he can't go. There is not much
to it, and what there is, is power.
As for the actual weight it can pull,
do not know. I pulled a separator
for toy neighbor, G. (J. Frost. t He
said that weighed 13,000 lbs., and The
rear wheels were miring near 6 inches
in the ground, and pulled it up a very
steep grade and I could not tell that it
was behind me. ' .
I went over 24 acres of wheat land
last fall, both ways, with two 8-foot
section harrows behind it, a two-man
log on each harrow, and a 16-foot log
behind the barrows, iu li days, and
used 15 gallons of gas. 11 to 12 gallons
of gas will break" about 8 acres of
ground On an average!
You can do anything almost with the
Cleveland Tractor plow, harrow, disc
and log, and turn as short almost as
you can with a team., n
Yours respectfully. y
