It brought the young couple to the door in avery short space of time, when Mr. Curry told the serenaders herecognized in their music many of his old time pieces andcomplimented them on their taste of selections, etc. Afterhearty congratulation all around they dispersed to the greatamusement of everybody in the vicinity."same reference as above:"Several weeks ago we stated that everybody had his eye on HarryM. Curry. So it was his actions were unmistakable. He hadrented a house and furnished it, an act a single man is not aptto do without there's something else ahead. On the night ofHalloween, October 31st, he was married to Miss Maggie, daughterof Mr. Alexander Sherriff, Rev. G.J.E.
