Daniel H. Currier
In the death of Daniel H. Currier, this town loses one of its best citizens. He was born in the town and has always lived here. His home was in the Lower Intervale, where he was born April 3, 1922. He was a son of the late Aaron Currier, who attained a good age, dying but ten years ago. His brothers are James, Henry C. and Solon, the two former residents of Plymouth. His sisters are Mrs. Phebe Reed of Plymouth, Mrs. Eliza Sanford of Galveston, Texas, Mrs. Armina Fletcher of Bridgewater and Mrs Emily Moses of Meredith.
He died April 13, having rounded out his full seventy years and a few days. He was a selectman of the town for ten years at different times. His service and judgment were sought on all subjects pertaining to town matters and he was always a friend to the poor and friendless. He was polite and kind and persuasive in his manner – a man can make and keep friends and a great pacificator in different matters requiring skill and tact. He was a longtime, consistent and faithful member of the Methodist church which received largely of his financial support and of his good judgment. He will be greatly missed by the church and by the entire community. His presence was a benediction everywhere. His health failed in 1886, since which time he has not been able to attend to much besides his own personal business, but he always showed a great interest in the welfare of his townsmen and pleased to meet them and always greeted them with a smile. On Good Friday, April15h, he was borne away to the little neighborhood cemetery near his home, where lies the dust of kindred and friends and his former wife. He leaves to mourn their loss, besides the brothers and sisters named, his only son and child, Mr. Dean S. Currier, whose kindly presence and help soothed his father's invalid days, and his wire and her daughter, Miss Mary Houston, whose tender ministries and patient care for years and in his latest days, made his pathway as pleasant as it could be down to the valley of death. Long and pleasant will be the memory of Daniel H. Currier. >The Ashland Citizen, April 23, 1892, p7.
The old Currier place in Glove Hollow, often confused with one of the Draper buildings has been damaged by fire and has been open to the elements so long that it is not likely to last another winter. This house was part of the glove-making industry of Plymouth.
Glove Hollow in Plymouth was the site for many years of the Plymouth Buckskin Glove. Now one of the historic buildings associated with that product is on the verge of collapse and will soon no longer be here. This house, on the right as you drive south on Route 3 just past the Cummings Hill road, was the home of Daniel Currier, son of James Currier and grandson of Aaron Currier who had settled in the hollow in 1818. Daniel and his brother Henry were leather dressers and manufacturers in the house just above and for some years made the Plymouth glove.
The dilapidated house, which will probably not last another winter, is often confused with the shop of Jason C. Draper, grandfather of Jason F. Draper, co-founder of Draper-Maynard Co. Jason C. Draper had his shop on the north side of the intersection with Cummings Hill Road. The glove industry began in Plymouth in about 1835 when Alvah McQuesten discovered a process for tanning deerskins which left them soft and pliable. McQuesten had a tannery and shop at the base of Ward Hill.
The glove industry grew and prospered until the end of the century. The skins were tanned and cut in the many shops and passed to housewives who sewed them in their homes. The advent of the machine age helped bring the end of this and so many other home industries and hand crafts.
