Dr. Edward Hervey Currier died June 1 at his home in Manchester, N. H., of heart disease.

The son of Samuel Morrill and Martha Ann (Flanders) Currier, he was born in Hopkinton, N. H., June 1, 1847. After studying at Henniker Academy, he removed in 1867 to Manchester, which ever after remained his home. In 1871 he embarked in the drug business in the firm of Weeks and Currier. After receiving his medical degree in November, 1880, he continued for a time to give his whole attention to his drug store, not beginning active medical practice until 1885. In 1898 he sold out the drug store, and had since devoted his entire time to medicine, in which he was highly successful.

From 1894 to 1899 Dr. Currier was medical director of the First Brigade, New Hampshire Militia. In 1882 he was appointed a member of the state board of commissioners of pharmacy, and served until 1912, being chairman of the board from 1889 to the last date. He was a member of the American Pharmaceutical Association, of the New Hampshire Pharmaceutical Association (its president in 1891-2), and the New England Associated Boards of Pharmacy. He was much interested in Masonry, being a member of lodge, chapter, council, and commandery.

January 9, 1873, he was married to Emma Frances, daughter of Stephen and Jane (Bruce) Dunbar of Manchester, who died September 14, 1912. They had two children, Edward Samuel, who died in 1918, and Jennie Flanders (Mrs. Arthur Lee King), who survives her parents.
