Synopsis
Excerpt from J. L. M. Curry: An Address
Dr. Curry was born in Lincoln County, Georgia, on June 5, 1825. During his early childhood, his father, a wealthy planter, emi grated from Georgia to Alabama, and settled about six miles from Talladega in that State. His academic training was received at the Uni versity of Georgia and his legal education at Harvard College, from which he was graduated in 1846 at the age of twenty-one. In 1847, he was elected to the Legislature of Alabama from Talladega County and began his great career as a public servant. For twenty years he served the State of Alabama with singular ability and distinction, as legislator, congressman, soldier and teacher, and though his later life was passed elsewhere, and his services belonged to the nation, his heart and mind constantly reverted with tender loyalty to that great state, as the land of his young manhood and his home.
