Amos Kreider Curry, partner in the Londonderry Mills, of Palmyra, Pa., is one of the successful exponents of the miller's trade in this county. He was born in Derry township, Lebanon county, Pa., in 1886 and is a son of John B. and Emma (Kreider) Curry, the former of whom was a miller by trade and died in 1913 and the latter of whom died in 1903. He was educated in the public schools of his native township and the Harrisburg Business college, graduating from the latter institution in 1904. At that time, he became associated with his father in the milling business at Swatara Station, and under the able preceptorship of his father, he learned the business to the smallest detail. It was this preparation that stood him in such good stead when, in 1915 and two years after his father's death, he removed to Palmyra to join his brothers, Irvin K. and John K., in the establishment of the J. B. Curry's Sons company, which mills its products under the trade name of Londonderry Mills. As a partner in this enterprise, Mr. Curry has done much to promote the industrial importance of Palmyra and is thus regarded as one of its most able and influential business men. In 1912, Mr. Curry was united in marriage to Anna S. Stauffer, of Palmyra, and they have four children, Abram Stauffer, Harriett E., Margaret, and Catherine. The Londonderry Mills handle all kinds of flour and feed and have added the sale of coal to their activities. Five men are employed at the mills. Mr. Curry is a valued member of the Chamber of Commerce, and he and his wife are communicants of the Church of Brethren, of which Mr. Curry is a trustee.
