I don't have an answer for your question, but am interested in any information on John
W. Curran, first husband of Roxy Pearl Shannon (1893-1987). Roxy married Ancil O.
Harshbarger in 1911, but I don't know what happened to John. She died in Allen Co,
IN, after marrying two more times.
Roxy & John had a daughter, Katherine, who married James J. McGovern in 1925.
I have an obit for a John F. Curran (abt. 1869-1938), but I don't believe it is the
man who married Roxy.
