Burke - Abbie M.
Source: Crawfordsville Daily Journal Monday 24 Oct 1892
Abbie M. Burke was born in Hamilton County, Ohio, August 20, 1841, and was married to E. B. Curtis February 19, 1862 at Crawfordsville, where she has since lived and reared a family of loving children, Mrs. G. W. Martin, of Indianapolis, Fannie, Abbie, Arthur, and Walter. She is a sister to Misses Lida, Kate, and Mell Burke and to Oliver, Milt and Marsh Burke.
She has long been a faithful member of Center Church and in this relation as well as all others made many friends. Her home life was particularly lovable and those whom she leaves motherless will feel a loss from which they will never recover. The funeral will occur on Wednesday, conducted by Dr. Cunningham and Dr. Tuttle.
