1. William Henry Curry Marker

Inscription.
Whether to follow the sea or cultivate the land seems to be a choice all Currys must make. William Curry's great-grandfather had two sons, William H. Jr. took to the sea, following Lord Dunmore, Governor General of the Bahamas (1786 - 1796) to Harbour Island, while Charles, William's grandfather, cultivated the land. William has been farming all his life and states fondly, "I love to see things grow." Born at Rock Sound, Eleuthera, William was made Justice of the Peace in 1947. As a Magistrate, he became known as the poor man's friend. A kind and gentle man, William recalls fondly the days of his youth, "It was a lovely world to live in."
