They expect to attend the funeral which will probably be held Monday at Montour. Mr. Curphy attained considerable prominence over the state about two months ago when he was featured in "Iowa Oddities" as the man who had carried a hoe as a cane for the past 20 years. His picture appeared in several newspapers in connection with this record. This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/iafiles/ File size: 1.2 Kb
