Mrs. J. J. Kusey dead
Well Known Lady Succumbs After Weeks of Battling With Disease and Suffering
Although it had been expected for a number of days when announcement of the death of Mrs. J. J. Kusey was made yesterday morning, it caused a profound shock in the community and sincere regret was expressed, while the sympathy of innumerable friends went out to the husband and little ones left behind.
Mrs. Kusey, who had been in poor health for the last five years, was taken with the sickness that ended in her death last month when a daughter was born to her. Notwithstanding that she rallied repeatedly, she gradually grew weaker, and only her wonderful vitality kept her alive during the weeks she battled with disease. The fever that had fastened itself upon her could not be broken and for days her temperature registered as high as 106. In addition to the local physicians, Dr. Alton of Livingston was repeatedly called into consultation, but their combined skill was unequal to the task imposed upon science, it was too great. Slowly the flame of life died out and with a sigh of resignation the weary soul returned whence it had come.
Cora Kusey (Curtis) was born at Logan, Utah, April 18, 1885. With her parents she came to Montana eighteen years ago, the family making their home there. She was married to Mr. Kusey, Aug. 24, 1906, by whom she is survived, and two sons, Hershel, aged 8 years, by a former marriage, Ray, 5 years, and the infant daughter, born a few days over five weeks ago. Besides these are her brothers, Clyde, who lives at McLeod, Lyman of Tabor, Alta., Sherman of Goenlock, Sak., Fred of Greeley, Colo., and a sister, Mrs. Thomas Helgersen, also of Greeley. Her father, O.B. Curtis, lives on a ranch a few miles east of the city. Her mother is dead.
The funeral took place this afternoon at 3 o'clock from the family home in upper McLeod street. Services were conducted by Rev. Cross, pastor of the Congregational church at Livingston. As a tribute to the memory of the deceased all the business places of the city were closed during the funeral hour.
Because of her personality, Mrs. Kusey had endeared herself to a large circle of friends and acquaintances. The suffering of years had not lessened the sweetness of disposition that marked her as a girl. Throughout it all, she bore herself bravely and cheerfully. never complaining, patient and enuring, she lived only for her family, whose happiness was her sole concern. Now that she is no more, the fragrance of her memory endures, a recollection to be treasured and cherished by those from whom she is gone until the days of a happy reunion in the realms beyond the grave. In their sorrow, the bereaved have the sympathy of a community of friends who mourn with them and whose hearts go out to them in love and tenderness.
