General Notes: Husband - Hiram G. Curry

---

As a youth of seventeen years he left the school-room to join the Union army, enlisting first in Company C, One Hundred and Second Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, receiving an honorable discharge, July 1, 1863, and then re-enlisting in the same company, serving until the close of the war, his regiment known as "Rowley's Regiment." In the battle of Chancellorsville he was severely wounded in the leg, his kneecap being split, and he was disabled for some time, being next wounded in the "Seven Days' Fight" around Richmond. On this occasion a bursting shell was the agent of his misfortune, Mr. Curry being hurled high into the air when it broke.
Returning to his home on the restoration of peace, Mr. Curry was employed at farming, mining, and boat-building, and after spending some time in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, returned to Allegheny County, becoming a farmer and miner in North Versailles township, where he resided for fifteen years. In 1894 he assumed the duties of postmaster at East McKeesport, Pennsylvania, although not under his own appointment, and fulfilled the responsibilities of that position until 1898, when he was appointed postmaster at East McKeesport by President McKinley. For eight years he was proprietor of a grocery store in that place, retiring from business upon his wife's death in 1902. Mr. Curry was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, and a communicant of the United Presbyterian church. On one occasion he was a member of the East McKeesport council.
