On Wednesday, April 10, Mr. Daniel Curry an old and highly respected pioneer of the Camden district, passed away at his late residence, Elderslie, after an illness of some fourteen weeks. The late Mr. Curry, was born at Stony Range, on the Camden Park Estate, on May 20, 1831; there being no churches in Camden at that time the R. C. services were held in Galvin's old home at

The deceased gentleman has never lived away from Camden, in his early days was employed on Camden Park, and was amongst those for a number of years who brought the prisoners from Berrima goal, the prisoners being hand-cuffed and chained together before placed in the waggons drawn by bullocks to Camden. Mr. Curry could tell some very interesting stories of the early days; he witnessed the last two floggings
which took part in Camden, on the ground near the present saw mills. In 1857 he was married at Campbelltown by the Rev. Father Terry, to Mary O'Reilly, daughter of the then Sergt. of Police at Picton, who died in 1900. After his marriage he lived at Cobbitty Paddocks, taking on a clearing lease for Camden Park. After leaving the Park, Mr. Curry went to work for the late Mr. White, at Kirkham, and the late Mr. Blackman, at Cobbitty. The funeral took place at the Cawdor R.C. Cemetery, and was very largely attended, by old friends and relatives, Rev.
