I've "rescued" three photographs of Alvan T. CURRIER who is identified as
the 15th Sheriff of Los Angeles Co. CA having served from 1882-1884. One of
the photographs is actually a pamphlet of sorts including his likeness and
signature. The second photograph appears to be taken from that same print
used to make the pamphlet and the third photograph appears to be taken from
an earlier photograph. He appears to be in his 40's to 60's in all three
photographs. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following
information regarding Alvan and his family:
Alvan or Alvin Tyler CURRIER was b. 30 Apr 1840 in Franklin Co. ME to
parents Alvin CURRIER (1806-1888) and Nancy CLOUGH (1807-1897). He was one
of 8 children born to this couple including, Samuel Howard; Lydia Ann; David
E.; Susan Elizabeth; Alvan Tyler; Hannah August or Augusta; George Merritt;
and Mattie Francis CURRIER all born between 1829 and 1850. Alvan married
Susan "Sue" R. RUBOTTOM or GLENN (1841-1928) and he died 13 Aug 1921 in Los
Angeles, CA and is buried in the Spadra Cemetery in Pomona, CA.
