William Reynolds Curll died at his residence on East Main Street at 15 minutes to 9 o'clock on Tuesday morning, March 13, 1894, after an illness of several weeks from complications superinduced by grippe, in the 53 years of his age. A few months ago Mr. Curll had a serious attack of grippe. But from this attack he rallied, and was in seemingly fair health again, although continuing to feel the effects of the disease. A few weeks ago he was again taken sick with symptoms similar to his former attack, complicated with typhoid malarial fever, but no serious results were apprehended from this attack, as he was progressing favorably toward convalescence but on Sunday morning of this week he was stricken with paralysis, from which he partially recovered by the evening of the same day, but on Monday morning a recurrence of the attack left him in a comatose condition and death claimed him for his own at the hour above named. Mr .Curll was the oldest son of Mr .and Mrs. D. E. Curll of Clarion, and was one of our best business men, being a member of the firms of Curll, Campbell & Co., and H. V. Curll & Co., prominent lumber firms operating in the northern part of this county and in Forest County. In social life he was genial and companionable and in home life a kind and affectionate husband and father. His funeral takes place at 10 o'clock Friday morning at his late residence East Main Street, and his remains will be interred at Cottage Hill Cemetery at this place. His surviving family consists of his wife, two daughters and a son, the oldest daughter being the wife of J. A. F. Hoy, Esq., of this place, and to these the sympathy of the entire community is extended. H. V. Curll, brother of the deceased and wife of Pittsburgh, A. D.

CURLL, WILLIAM REYNOLDS —William Reynolds Curll, eldest son of D. B. and Nancy A. Curll, was born at Curllsville, Pa., February 1, 1842, and as stated in last week's issue, died at his residence, East Main St., Clarion, March 13, 1894, aged 52 years, 1 month and 12 days. When but a boy his parents moved to Clarion and he grew to manhood and resided here ever since. He was educated in the schools of Clarion and formed associations with the then youth of the town many of whom have since become our best citizens, that during all the years of his life have grown and been cemented into friendships and attachments that, though broken in this life, will keep his memory green in the minds of those associates so long as they retain the faculty of recollection. Having actively engaged in various pursuits, among them as merchant, banker and manufacturer, he came into contact with not only our own business men, but with many throughout the western part of the state, and his every business transaction stamped him as a man whose word was as good as a bond; and not only in business matters but in every other relation in life honesty, integrity and justice marked his part in every act. He devoted his every effort to the happiness of his family and friends, and loved his family and home above all other earthly things, and though time may bring resignation to the hearts of bereaved family, and the wound caused by his unexpected demise heal, yet the scar will remain, and the recollection of his kindness, love and care will always be fresh in their memories. He leaves to survive him a wife to whom he was married March 15, 1866, two daughters, a son, a son-in-law, and a young granddaughter, besides his aged father and mother, two brothers, and many other relatives, all of whom are comforted in their grief by the sympathy of the entire community. The remains were interred in the Clarion cemetery Friday morning after a funeral service conducted by Dr. Elder. Source: Clarion Jacksonian, March 22, 1894.
