    3. How about a Mrs. Mary Curry, widow on 1920 and 1910 census? (Monticello, Drew County Ar.) She was born about 1847 in Arkansas. In 1900 she was with husband Ezekial Curry. I couldn't find any other like sounding names on 1920 census in that age range. Terri -----Original Message----- From: bjw [mailto:jann_woodard@yahoo.com] Sent: Sunday, October 23, 2005 1:01 PM To: ARDREW-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [ARDREW] Arkansas Gazette I'm trying to figure out who this lady was. I don't find a listing for her in either the Bradley or Drew County cemetery records. I wonder if perhaps the name is "Curry", but have no proof of that. If anyone knows about this lady please let me know. And also, what was a "journal"? October 19, 1921: Monticello, Oct. 18 – Mrs. M. A. R. Culley, aged about 80, was killed here when she fell under the wheels of a Missouri Pacific train at the railway station this morning. She was returning to her home here from Warren, where she had been visiting relatives. After alighting from the train, she found she had forgotten a package, and went back into the coach. The train had started when she attempted to alight the second time. She fell between the curb and the track, and a journal struck her on the chest and knocked her beneath the coach. Jack Mobley, well known oil man, standing nearby pulled her from under the coach before her body was ground to pieces. The aged woman was taken to the office of Dr. E. R. Cothern, where she died a short time later.
