CURRY, Lee Andrew

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 at Russellville, where he has been a faithful member and a regular attendant at the Sunday school, where he will be greatly missed. He was also an honored member of the K. of P. lodge, having joined a few months ago.
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.
The funeral services were held at Russellville Sunday
afternoon in the M. E. Church, conducted by Rev. F. M. Pavey. His remains were
quietly laid to rest in the Russellville
Cemetery
