PATRICK CURREN (often spelled "Curran" in earlier documents) was born in Ireland on 17 March 1843 (1900 U.S. Census) and immigrated to America in 1850 (1910 U.S. Census) or 1852 (1900 U.S. Census). He served with the Union Army's famed 1st Regiment of the Vermont Cavalry, Company F & M which saw fierce action in Gettysburg.
After the Civil War he was a barber at Snell's Barbershop on Ohio Street in Sedalia, Pettis County, Missouri (Sedalia Weekly Bazoo, 7 June 1881, p. 3). He married Lucy Ellen Turley (1856-1902) of nearby Georgetown, Pettis County, Missouri. Lucy was the daughter of Major James M. Turley (1830-1922) who had commanded the Union Army's Company H of the 13 Regiment of Missouri's Cavalry. Patrick and Lucy moved from Missouri to Derby, Orleans County, Vermont in the late 1880s where Patrick continued his barbershop trade. In May, 1887 they had a daughter, Ellen Maude Curren, who tragically died when she fell off a chair in April, 1889. With their second child, Charles Patrick Curren (1888-1942), they moved to Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri where Patrick would be proprietor of his own barbershop at 2028 E. 18th Street. They lived above the barbershop and had two more children, Jesse James Curren (1891-1940) and William A. Curren (1893-1950). Lucy died in 1902.
Patrick then married Mrs. Mary Ann Arbuckle in 1903 in Kansas City. He died in 1927, she died in 1928. Patrick Curren, Lucy Ellen Turley Curren, and Mary Ann Curren are all three buried in Elmwood Cemetery in Kansas City.
