Scope and content
The short biography of Harvey Curry appears to have been written by Harvey's wife, Elsie [nee van Nostrand] from her memories and likely those of Harvey. Harvey was born in July 1905 to William and Tilly Curry and, although he graduated from the Toronto Normal School, he discovered teaching was not for him. After the Holland Marsh was drained for crops (between 1925 and 1930), Harvey began acquiring and selling much needed onion bags and bushel baskets to farmers. He was rejected for the war effort in 1939/40 for health reasons and instead opened a store in Bradford called, Bradford Seed House, grew the business and also ran the local catalogue order depot for the Robert Simpson Company (later Simpson-Sears catalogue). Harvey and Elsie had one child. Harvey died in December 1990.
