SUDDEN DEATH
CAUSES SHOCK

Daniel Nj. Curry, a prominent citi-
zen and member of the firm of Curry
& Company, departed this life sud
denly Monday afternoon. His death
caused u great shock, as Mr.. Curry was
seen on the street Sunday and the fact
was not even known that he was in
disposed.
Although one of our most active and
energetic business men it was general
ly known that Mr.. Curry was not in
what with Indigestion and it was no
unusual thing for him to leave the
works during the day and retire to
his home. Last summer he took an
ocean voyage for the benefit of his
health After brief sojourn in Europe
he returned home on July 9th much
improved He at once resumed bis
place at the head of the plant of Curry
& Company and during the eleven
months that have intervened he lost
only three days by illness.
On Sunday afternoon he was seized
with an attack of.racute Indigestion.
His brother, DR.. E. A. Curry, was call
ed, who administered to him, after
which the sick man seemed to i'm
prove. He put in good night follow
ing, sleeping from eight O'Clock Sun
day evening until 4 Monday morn
ing. He seemed fairly we'll during the
early part of Monday, but toward
noon was seized with another attack.
His condition later improved and when
last seen by his brother, Dr. +. A.
Curry, about noon he was sitting up
in his chair There was nothing then
i'll his condition to foreshadow the
fact that brief span of couple of
hours of life was all that remained for
him.
Shortly after O'Clock he was seiz-
ed with another attack of acute in
digestion. He suffered intense pain
and with an exclamation he fell for
ward from the chair. Death was in
Simultaneous. DR.. Curry was immedi-
atey summoned, but when he arrived
all that remained for him to do was to
announce the sad fact that the patient
had passed beyond the limit where
medical help was of avail.
Dan M. Curry as he was familiarly
known, was one of the solid substanti-
al men of our town. He was distinc-
lively a business man. He was one of
the world workers. His life was one
of concentration-of close application
and he achieved success, as he deserv-
ed to do. Early in life he learned the
traue or macnInIs5 with tho old Ell
terprise Foundry Company, his father
being member of the firm. He next
became foreman under w. O. Frick
when the latter operated the works at
present owned by Curry & Company.
Some eleven years ago he entered into
partnership with j.. II. Vannan and
as a member of the firm of Curry &
Vannan was connected with the plant
until year ago last fall, when Mr..
Vannan retired and Mr.. Curry took
over the plant. Since that time as a
member of the firm of Curry g. Com
pany the deceased has conducted the
business.
Although engrossed in the affairs of
his constantly growing plant yet Mr..
Curry found time to indulge his social
nature. He IVES fond of his home and
spent nearly all his leisure at the fam
lily hearthstone He was a man of gen
erous impulses; of broad and liberal
views. His strict honor and integrity
were unquestioned by all who were
brought into intimate relationship
with him. 1t has been long time in
deed since death has occurred in our
town that has been so greatly deplor
ed.
