General Notes: Husband - Samuel P. Curry


He attended the public schools of his native place and in Irwin, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, to which latter place his parents moved when he was a boy, and in Irwin he began to learn the painter's trade when a lad of sixteen years. Completing his apprenticeship he began independent operations as a painter in Irwin, and was so engaged until May 13, 1890, on which date he moved to Wilkinsburg, Allegheny County. To his original line Mr. Curry added paper-hanging, and his joint business acquired a wide patronage. To these he later added real estate dealing, and erected numerous houses in Wilkinsburg, all of which proved excellent investments. He was identified with the Republican party throughout his entire life, but in affairs of local importance he was independent in political action, and while a resident of Irwin, Pennsylvania, served for two terms on the council. Mr. Curry was a member of Oriental Lodge, No. 590, Free and Accepted Masons, and with his wife belonged to the South Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church.
