Lee
Andrew Curry, aged 23 years, died Friday, Nov.
15, at his home south of Russellville. About two weeks ago he met with a very
serious accident, part of his hand being crushed in a corn shredder, which
finally caused his death. He seemed to be improving until on last Thursday when
he was taken sick with la grippe and grew rapidly worse until on Friday night
when death came. Thereby another home is made lonely and desolate. A place is
vacant which can never be filled. Lee was an honest and industrious young man,
loved and respected by all. He was of a bright, sunny disposition that made his
acquaintance a pleasure to all who knew him; a father’s pride and a mother’s
love and comfort.
Eight years ago he united with the Methodist Church
He leaves a father, mother, one
brother, two sisters and a host of relatives and friends to mourn his absence,
yet we feel our loss is his eternal gain. Nothing but time can heal the
terrible wound in the hearts of his heart broken parents, relatives and
friends. But, dearest Lee, though we deeply mourn and sadly miss you, we feel
that you are safe in the arms of Jesus.
