My Comments notes for James Irving Curry
Uncle Irving never married. I always thought he lived as an adult in Salt Lake City, but both his World War I draft registration card and the 1920 Census say he resided (at those times) in Milford, UT and was a locomotive engineer on the Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad. Milford, which is a good bit south of SLC, was a key operations center for that railroad.

Uncle Irving came to Sunbury once when I was a boy, probably in the 1950’s, and gave me a 1906 “Indian Head” nickel which I still have today.
