Ellen Bruce Currie Papers, 1868-2000

http://www2.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/c/Currie,Ellen_Bruce.html

Ellen Bruce Currie (1920- ) grew up in Raeford, N.C. Her maternal grandparents were Ruth Hairston Pannill Gordon (1850-1928), a cousin of Jeb Stuart, and Melville Cox Gordon (1838-1892). Currie's father was lawyer James Wharey Currie (1879-1935), her mother was Ruth Pannill Gordon Currie (1885-1947), and her brother was James Gordon Currie (1919-1964). Currie worked for the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Veterans Administration in Richmond, Va., and then at Fort Bragg, N.C. The collection includes letters, biographical information, religious materials, family history materials, legal and financial papers, and photographs documenting Ellen Bruce Currie's life. The bulk is correspondence, including many letters to Currie from Melbourne Slade, a prolific writer whose letters describe his Vietnam War experiences and personal struggles after the war. Also included are love letters to Currie and letters from her brother James Gordon Currie to his family while he served in World War II and about his alcoholism after the war. Biographical information documents Ellen Bruce Currie's education, travel, and employment. Religious materials chiefly relate to the Presbyterian Church. Family history materials include Ruth Hairston Pannill Gordon's reminiscences about General Jeb Stuart and items relating to the Currie, Gordon, and Pannill families. Legal papers document James Wharey Currie's career as a lawyer in Raeford, N.C. Included are items about land at Fort Bragg and material relating to a 1929 crime of seduction case. Financial papers consist chiefly of small ledgers kept by James Wharey Currie in the early 1930s. Photographs are of family members. The Addition of 2000 contains correspondence, financial documents, papers relating to Presbyterian church business, and photographs. Additions received after 2000 have been integrated into original deposits.
