General Notes: Husband - William Brannan Currie

---

He was four years old when his father died. He obtained his education in the neighborhood schools and lived in Franklin Township, Butler County, PA, until he was fifteen years of age, when he went to work in the oil fields and followed drilling for fourteen years. In 1875 he began to oper­ate a farm, belonging to his maternal grand­father. In addition to this property, he owned fifty acres in another part of Frank­lin Township, together with a farm of ninety-five acres in Brady Township, cul­tivating in all about 165 acres, one of his farms being occupied by his son-in-law, Howard S. English. Judge Currie made hay his leading crop and also raised corn, wheat, oats and buckwheat and some beef cattle. His almost four acres of pear and apple orchards gave ample returns and he took considerable interest in them as he set out a large number of the trees. In politics he was a Democrat and notwithstanding the fact that he lived in a normally Republican district, he was elected a justice of the peace for twenty successive years. He was always a loyal citizen and in August, 1864, he en­listed for service in the Civil War, enter­ing Company B, Sixth Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery and accompanied his regiment to Washington, D. C., where it was utilized for the defense of the Nation's capital.
