The History of Caldwell and Livingston Counties, Missouri. 1886
WILLISON CURRY
(Farmer and Stock-raiser, Post-office, Chillicothe).
Before becoming engaged in the occupation which now receives his attention Mr. Curry had successfully conducted a livery stable in Chillicothe, but his inclinations led him to purchase 110 acres of land south of town, and this he has since managed to good advantage, being interested in the raising of stock in connection with his general farming operations. His father, James Curry, was an influential agriculturist of the Keystone State for many years, his death occurring there in , 1882. His first wife, Miss Agnes Patterson, also a native of Pennsylvania, bore him nine children: John is a farmer of, Wisconsin; Elizabeth is Mrs. James Robertson, of Pennsylvania; Hugh is a mechanic at Harrisburg, Pa.; Robert is a brakeman in his native State; Jane married John Stultz, of Pennsylvania; Henry is a farmer in Minnesota, and George and Abram reside at their old home. Robert, Henry, George, Abram and Willison were among the first volunteers to enlist when the alarm of civil war spread terror throughout the Union, and each one fought continuously from 1861 until the army was disbanded in 1865, not a wound having been inflicted upon any one of them. About the year 1852 James Curry took for his second wife Jane Stewart, and she became the mother of three children: Margaret and Vina died in infancy and Harvey located at Chillicothe, Mo., in April, 1885. After the death of his second wife Mr. C. was again married in 1859, and three children were born of this union; James L., Laura and Mary. Willison, the youngest child by his father's first marriage, was born in Allegheny county, Pa., June 2, 1840, and received a common school education. Almost before arriving at manhood he entered Co. B, 1st Maryland cavalry, took part in the terrible battles of the Potomac and was honorably discharged in 1865. Subsequently he removed to Ohio, obtained work in the machine shops at Kent, but later on, the reports which had reached him of Missouri caused him to come here, his settlement in Chillicothe dating froth 1868. Mr. Curry has never aspired to political honor, preferring rather to devote his time and energy to his business. His preferences, however, are with the Republican party. He is a man whose interests are almost inseparable from the interests of the county.
