Dunn County Journal - Thurs. Mar. 17, 1921.
A. B. Curry, well known banker and for more than twenty years a resident of Dunn County, died at his home in Killdeer Sunday morning about ten o’clock, from a stroke of apoplexy following an illness of two days.
The funeral was held on Monday afternoon under the auspices of the Killdeer Masonic lodge, full rites taking place in the presence of many brother members from all over the county and surrounding areas. The body was shipped to St. Paul Tuesday morning where the last rites will be administered by the Masonic order there.
Mr. Curry was born in Providence, Rhode Island, in December, 1875. Upon coming to Dunn county, he ranched west of Killdeer until 1914 when he organized and was made cashier of the Northwestern State Bank of Oakdale. The following year he removed to Killdeer where he accepted the cashiership of the First National Bank, with which the Northwestern National Bank had merged.
He rose to prominence in the bankers association and business life of the Slope and was uniformly successful. His counsel and advise was often sought in financial matters.
Mr. Curry was loyal to his town and possessed a genius for civic progress. He was the first president of the Commercial Club, prominent member of the Masonic Lodge of Killdeer, Royal Ashe Order of the Eastern Star, and the Dickinson Commandery Knights Templar, No. 12.
He is survived by his wife, one son and two daughters, and one brother, Curtis C. Curry of St. Paul. His parents preceded him in death.
He ranked very high in those circles in which he moved, and news of his sudden death will be learned with universal regret. The many beautiful floral offerings from organizations and individuals are testimony that he was held in high esteem by his friends.
The Dunn County Farmers Journal joins the vast throng in tendering sympathy and condolence to the wife and children and to his brother in their sorrow.
