Currier, John (13 Sep 1828 - 15 Aug 1898)

John Currier died at his home in this city (Neillsville, Clark County) on Monday, Aug. 15, 1898. He had been in usual health and his death was sudden. He was about on Sunday as usual. In the night he was found by his sister, sitting up and complaining of a pain in his breast. He was put in bed, hot applications used and a doctor called. He died, however, with a few minutes after the doctor arrived.

He was born in Skowhegan, Me., Sept. 13, 1828, and therefore lacked but a few days of seventy years. He came to Clark County in 1852, only a few years after its first settlement. He made his home for many years with Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Robinson at Weston's Rapids. His sister finally came to live with him and they have resided together in this city for many years. He was never married. He leaves surviving a brother, Willis Currier, at Skowhegan, Me., Seth at Fresno, Cal., and his sister, Sophronia and Eliza and Mrs. Geo. Trogner of this city..

Mr. Currier was a man of strict integrity. He was honest and detested falsehood and deceit wherever he met it. No one ever doubted his word. He was one who enjoyed his friends and was always kind to them. He was kind and generous. He was quiet and unassuming (the rest of my copy was cut off)
