Ebenezer Bailey Currier was but three years old when his father died. He received a good district schooling, attending school from seven to eight months in a year. When he reached the age of sixteen he became an apprentice at the carriage trimmer’s trade in Amesbury.. He served five years at twenty-five dollars per year; but by overwork he earned extra pay, so that at twenty-one he had saved two hundred dollars besides clothing himself. His ambition excelled his strength, however, and he was obliged to give up the business. He subsequently became a salesman in a furniture warehouse in Lowell, where he was employed three years; and later he was a carpet salesman two years. He next set up in the shoe business in Lowell; and in September, 1847, he started a similar store here in Lawrence where he was in trade up to 1852, when he sold out. For two years, 1853-54, he held the office of Assessor; and in 1855 he was elected County Commissioner, in which capacity he served until 1861, when the war broke out. On accounty of his age he was unable to go to the front. From that time on until his final retirement from the activities of life Mr. Currier was principally interested in the insurance and real estate business. He, however, found time for public service during that time, and was appointed inspector of the Tewksbury Almshouse, a State intilution. In 1852 he was a member of the State legislature, and it was largely through his endeavors that the courts were removed from Ipswich, and present court-house built.
On June 2, 1840, Mr. Currier was married to Abigail O. Emerson, of Lowell, Mass. She died September 19, 1841, aged twenty, without issue. He afterward married Mary W. Heald, who was born in Carlisle, Mass., September 4, 1814, daughter of John Heald and a descendant of Revolutionary stock. One daughter has blessed this union, Francette Elizabeth, born August 24, 1845, who married on September 12, 1872, John S. Gile, of Lawrence. She has no children. In 1855 Mr. Currier purchased for eight hundred and forty dollars an acre and three-quarters on Prospect Hill, where there were than only a few old, small houses. Eight years later, in 1863, he erected the fine larg dwelling which is his present home. It sets well back from the street, and is reached by a circular driveway. In front is a beautiful evergreen grove. The grounds are further beautified by the fruit and ornamental trees which he planted before building his house. Mr. Currier cast his first Presidential vote for William Henry Harrison, and has been a Republican from the organization of the part. When living in Lowell he became a charter member of a new lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and was one of its most generous supporters as long as he remained there. Through his strong frame is somewhat bowed by his eighty-five years, Mr. Currier still retains his mental faculties remarkably.
