married Carrie Estel Barnum May 26, 1886. She died June 21,

1903. A quotation from her obituary closely parallels his life:

"The spirit of the pioneers was upon them; courageously they

journeyed westward and began their home life in a sod-house

on a homestead in the virgin prairies of Nebraska, near the town of Sargent. It was a happy but a lonely life, the neighbors few and far distant, the nearest railroad 55 miles away."  Two of their five children were born in Nebraska, many miles from doctors and medicine.

Mr. Curphey was intensely interested in caring for his land.  The last summer of his life he went to Minnesota to supervise the harvest on land he owned there.  The family returned to Onarga in 1893 and remained until 1901 when they moved to Lenox. They lived in this community 14 years, going back to Onarga in 1915.

Mr. Curphey was the father of  five children. Ross Edward of  Lenox preceded him in death.  Surviving are Mrs. Elva Hahne, Robert Harold Cunphey, Edith Estelle Hildenbrand and Grace Hawkins. Close relatives in this community are a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Effie Curphey, a grandson Thurman Curphey and children, Allen, Sheryl, Sandra and Lloyd of Sharpsburg, a grandson Kenneth Curphey and

children, Ross, Garland, Carol, Lyle and Johnny of Lenox.
