OLD-TIME RECOLLECTIONS No. XXVII. (column written by Francis McConaughy, "A Neighbor")

 

"I will now write of James, and yet I am not sure if he or John were the older, but I think the latter, as he and the eldest brother, Robert, served in the war of 1812. All were farmers but this James, who learned the tanning business at Col. Ramsey's near Ligonier and afterward lived for a time in Huntingdon and then in Lewistown, Union county. In the first place he married and lost his wife he many years sorely lamented. Later he married again and left a family of three children."

JAMES HENRY McCURDY, deceased, was born in Lewistown, Mifflin county, Pa., March 5, 1832, son of John and Eliza (Bernheisel) McCurdy. On the paternal side Mr. McCurdy was of Irish lineage. His mother's family was of German origin, she being a daughter of Henry and Christina Bernheisel. Her father came from Germany and settled in Lewistown, where he conducted a tannery during the rest of his life; his family consisted of four daughters and a son. Mr. Bernheisel was born February 26, 1761, and died December 25, 1829; his wife was born December 2, 1761, and died March 27, 1829. Among their daughters was Eliza, who married John Beck; of this marriage there were two children:  Christina, who married Jonathan Swan; and Mary (Mrs. Campbell Wilson.) Mr. Beck died, and his widow was married to James McCurdy; their children are:  James Henry; Robert, married Jane Spaulding, of Lewistown, has six children; Agnes Ann, died in childhood; Eliza Jane (Mrs. Jefferson King), resides in Ohio. Mr. James McCurdy died August 16, 1868; his wife died December 7, 1877.

 

The education of James Henry McCurdy was begun in the common schools, and completed in the academy of Lewistown. Under his father's instructions, he learned the trade of tanning, and continued working for him for some years. He then removed to Salem, Columbiana county, O., where he worked for twenty years as an iron moulder. In 1880 he returned to Pennsylvania, and resided at McClure, Snyder county, until his final return to Lewistown, where he occupied the homestead where Mrs. McCurdy now resides. From the year 1882 he was unable, on account of impaired health, to pursue any vocation; and his death occurred December 27, 1891. He was devoted and affectionate towards his family and friends, kind and affable in general intercourse, and a good citizen. His departure was widely regretted.

 

James Henry McCurdy was married, September 13, 1853, to Ellen E., daughter of Leonard and Mary (Shenkel) Briner. Their children are:  John L., who died in childhood; Howard Wells, married Hannah May Blackburn, has one child, Leda Fay; and Emma Nettie (Mrs. Joseph L. Strunk), has children, Ralph, Carl, Leroy, Howard, Clarkson, who died young, and Wanda Ethel. Mrs. McCurdy, as has been said, resides in the homestead; she is a member of the Presbyterian church, and attends at Lewistown. Her son, Howard W. McCurdy, is a printer and stationer, at Salem, O.

[article is accompanied by a photograph of Howard Wells McCurdy]

 

Howard Wells McCurdy is a successful and well known business man of Salem, where he is engaged in the insurance business. He was born in Salem, Dec. 11, 1859, and is the son of James Henry and Elizabeth Ellen (Briner) McCurdy.

 

James Henry McCurdy was born at Lewistown, Pa., March 5, 1832, the son of James and Mrs. Eliza (Beck) McCurdy. The McCurdy family originally came from Ireland, where James McCurdy was born Nov. 29, 1795. His son, James Henry, father of the subject of this sketch, learned the tanning trade and worked for several years at this business. About the year 1856, he moved to Salem, and resided here until July, 1879. During this period his vocation was stationary engineer and iron molder. In July, 1879, he moved to Snyder County, Pa., and resided on a farm about four miles from McClure, Pa., for nearly three years. In 1882 he then moved to Lewistown, Pa., his birthplace, and remained there until his death, which occurred Dec. 27, 1891. During the Civil War he enlisted in the first company organized in Salem, Company I, First Regiment of Ohio Volunteers, Sept. 17, 1861. He received his discharge June 25, 1862, at Columbus. He was married to Elizabeth Ellen Briner, daughter of Leonard and Mary Briner, Sept. 13, 1853. Mrs. McCurdy was born near Lewistown, Pa., June 3, 1836, and died Feb. 18, 1898. To them three children were born:  John Albert, died in infancy; Howard Wells, the subject of this sketch; and Emma Nettie.

 

Howard Wells McCurdy attended the public and high schools of Salem, and his first business connection was with the Salem Republican, a weekly newspaper, in April, 1876. Finishing the printing trade, he left Salem with his parents to reside on a farm near McClure, Pa., in July, 1879. In 1882 he located at Lewistown, Pa., where he worked on the Sentinel and Free Press. In April, 1886, he opened a job printing shop at "Five Points," and in 1889 this entire plant was destroyed by fire. He returned to Salem, where he purchased a half interest in the firm of Kirby & Company, job and label printers. They issued the Salem Democratic Bulletin, a weekly newspaper, and in May, 1891, established the Salem Daily Herald. In July, 1894, he sold his interest in the firm, but remained as foreman until September, 1908. In March, 1909, Mr. McCurdy assumed control of the Brady Insurance Agency, Salem, which was established in 1908. It has since been known as the McCurdy Insurance Agency, and carries on a general insurance business. Mr. McCurdy served as president of the Salem Typographical Union from 1902 until 1925 inclusive.

 

On March 9, 1893, Mr. McCurdy was united in marriage with Miss Hannah May Blackburn, who was born at New Waterford, Ohio, Nov. 29, 1867. A daughter was born to them, Leda Fay. She was born in Salem, Dec. 30, 1893, and on June 20, 1914, was married to Mitchell E. Lewis. To them was born a daughter, Zona Gale Lewis, born July 25, 1916. On Sept. 21, 1922, Mrs. Lewis was married the second time to Samuel J. Davison, of Salem, and they have a son, Samuel J. Davison, Jr., born Dec. 11, 1923.

 

The McCurdy family is well and favorably known in Columbiana County and Mr. McCurdy is an excellent citizen.
