The people of Cheyenne were grieved to learn of the death of one of 
its young business men Hanna G. Curry who died Sunday evening, March 
23, 1930 in a hospital at Sayre, Oklahoma.  Hanna had been ill only a 
short time, having been operated on Monday previous to his death for 
appendicitis, a case wherein the appendix has ruptured.  His 
condition was considered serious from the time he was taken to the 
hospital.

Mr. Curry and family had resided in Cheyenne about a year during 
which time he was manager of the Maryland Filling Station.  During 
this year he had made a host of friends who are grieved at his 
passing from life at such an early age.  During the funeral services 
the business life of Cheyenne stood still in respect to the memory of 
this young man.

Hanna Gully Curry was born in Quanah, Texas June 25, 1905.  He moved 
to the county eight years ago and resided near Midway until he moved 
to Cheyenne.  Previous to coming to Roger Mills County he had resided 
in Jackson county with his parents.  On February 22, 1924, he was 
married to Mary McGlothlin of the Midway community and to this union 
were born two sons, Norman Ray, age 3 years, and Perry Glenn age 20 
months.  Besides his wife and two sons he leaves his father, mother, 
four brothers and two sisters who are: Mr. and Mrs. M.D. Curry of 
McLean, Texas, parents: L.L. Curry, Headrick, Oklahoma; E.P. Curry, 
Reydon, Oklahoma; M.D. Curry, Jr., Ramtoul, Ill.; Jim Bill Curry, 
McLean, Texas; Mrs. C.I. Ewing, Durham, Oklahoma; and Mrs. Dough 
Wilson of Pampa, Texas, all of whom were present at the funeral 
except M.D. Curry, Jr.

Hanna Curry was a splendid type of young man one who made friends of 
all.  A large number of friends from Jackson county and from the 
vicinity of Midway where he lived, were present at the funeral which 
bespeaks the love had for him.

Funeral services were conducted Monday afternoon from the Baptist 
church in Cheyenne in the presence of friends and relatives.  Rev. 
Plunkett of Gould, Oklahoma, former pastor of the family preached the 
sermon and was assisted in the service by Rev. C.E. Rhoads, local 
pastor of the Methodist church.  The remains were laid to rest in the 
Cheyenne cemetery, Cheyenne, Roger Mills County, Oklahoma beneath a 
mound of flowers bestowed by loved ones.

J.H. Tunnard, undertaker, had charge of the funeral service.
