OBITUARY - Mr JOHN CURRY
An old resident of Banks Peninsula passed away yesterday at his house in Woodville in the person of Mr John Curry at the age of eighty. Mr Curry and his wife came out to New Zealand in 1863 in the ship Chariot of Fame. http://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Heritage/Digitised/Emigration/EmbarkationLists/ChariotOfFame-1862/
They arrived in Lyttelton where the eldest child, a daughter, was born. After a short stay about Christchurch, Mr Curry and his family came to Akaroa where he was working for a short time for Mrs Russell. The family lived later in Dr Watkins house close to the old vicarage for some ten to eleven years. In the meantime Mr Curry had purchased a section up the Long Bay road and he used to spend his time travelling up and down to the section felling bush. He took up his residence later on the land where he lived up to the time he went up to Woodville to take up land there.
He leaves a wife, five sons, including Messrs James and Samuel Curry, of Akaroa, four daughters, Mesdames Weir, Gungall, Dell and Crawford and a large number of grand children.
Mr Curry enjoyed excellent health up to the time of his death, never being bed-ridden. He was typical of the old Peninsula pioneers, a hard working man, who reared a large family amidst considerable hardship and as a result of a healthy industrious life reached the ripe age of 80.
Yesterday afternoon Rev J. W. Hayward kindly motored Mr James Curry up to Christchurch to enable him to catch the Wellington boat and be in time for his father's funeral.
