- She died in 1930 in the Isabella Home--Grand Rapids, Michigan
She was Grandma Curtiss's mother, my Great Grandmother, and Suzie, Pete,
and Cindy's Great Great Grandmother; and Kari, Courtney, Jason and
Ashley's Great Great Great Grandmother. I was 8 years old when she
died. She died of Chr. Myocarditis.--also, had Bronchial Asthma. Date
of burial was 12 Aug 1930. Location: Lot 112, Block G, Grave #5.
Charlotte had a sister--probably Mary. Charlotte (often called Lottie
and called "Doll" by her husband) was very good to her sister. The
sister was jealous of Lottie. The sister was a poor housekeeper, and
Lottie used to go and clean up stacks of unwashed dishes, messy kitchen,
etc. for which she received unkind remarks and ill will.(Aunt Dorothy's
recollections)
Katharine Kalmbach (who lived in Denver) was a cousin of my grandmother(Inez Curtiss), and was a good friend to my mother in Denver. She was very nice.
I was 8 years old when Charlotte (my great grandmother)died. I always remembered her having a jar of large round peppermintcandies. Everyone loved her. She was left a widow with three children. Had a boarding house in Grand Rapids, Michigan, was of French-Canadian
descent. Her father was a lumberman. Both parents died when she was very young (about 10 years). Not true. She had two brothers (no good), was
brought up by relatives in Muskegon, Michigan. Her hair was "fire red", complexion ivory. Her mother was English. (Source: Aunt Dorothy)
It has been said that she was raised by a Mrs. Coddington in Kalamazoo.
I have kept Aunt Dorothy's information; but I was fortunate to hear from Charles Quick of Toledo, Ohio the true information. Her father was Thomas Quick, and her mother was Florence Melanson. She was French Canadian. The story is in my Quick booklet. Not true that she was ophaned at 10 years of age.
