These are obituaries that I and many others have donated. Mine were transcribed from old newspapers. I got the microfilms through interlibrary loan from the University of Oregon. There are also many others who have donated. If there is no contributor on it, it is something I have transcribed. If there is no link on the contributor's name, they have no further information about that person. It is someone extra on a copy of their families information.

Dr. H.E. Currey, a Baker physician and druggist since 1882 was fatally wounded in the mess house of the Regan mine in Rye Valley, 48 miles southeast of Baker, shortly after 10 o'clock Sunday night and died before reaching Baker that night. Jack M. DeLay, a mining man in company with Dr. Currey had gone to the mine Sunday afternoon. After eating their evening meal in the mess house Mr. and Mrs. DeLay and two other mining employees sat in the dining room while Dr. Currey demonstrated the handling of a large calibre automatic pistol. He, it is said, worked the gun to satisfy himself that it was not loaded and then handed it to DeLay when in some unaccountable manner it was discharged, the ball entering the right leg just below the hip and ranged upward into the body. The injured man was carried three and a half miles to an automobile before starting toward Baker. Dr. Curry was unconscious when place in the car. His death occurred somewhere on the road, but this was unknown to the party until it reached the hospital.

Dr. Currey was known to nearly everyone in southeastern Oregon. He was the proprietor of the Live and Let Live pharmacy on Center street in Baker. He is survived by a widow and two sons.

Sunday morning, February 12, 1922 the life of Jennie C. Currey, one of the early pioneers of Oregon, passed on at the Grand Ronde Hospital, where she had been lovingly care for during the last nine years-La Grande Observer.
