After her marriage, in 1895, to Duncan Steele Curry, at that
time comptroller of Winnipeg, she satisfied her desire to travel and
see distant places. Thus their children were born in various world
cities: Evelyn in Winnipeg; Isabel in San Francisco; a child who
died young in London, England; and Peter in Copenhagen, Den-
mark. When Mr. Curry retired they moved to the salubrious
climate of San Diego, California, to make their home, and there
Mrs. Curry was widowed.
She made yearly visits to Winnipeg and became interested in
various charities. Among these was Sunrise Lutheran Camp, which
benefited by generous gifts from her annually. One of these gifts
was a completely furnished cottage at the camp which bears her
name: “Bertha Curry Cottage.” Her sincere desire to serve and
support worthy causes was an inherent part of her character.
She is survived by three children: Evelyn, wife of Admiral
Sprague (retired); Isabel, wife of Capt. Erskine (navy, retired); and
Peter D. Curry of Winnipeg; also several grandchildren and great-
grandchiidren.
“Her work shall praise her.”

BERTHA LAXDAL CURRY
Tribute Paid at Convention of Lutheran Women’s League
On May 7, 1955, a good and faithful friend of our camp passed
on. Bertha Laxdal Curry—Mrs. D. S. Curry—though not a resident
of Winnipeg, was a staunch supporter of our work for the children
of this city, where she spent the years of her youth prior to her
marriage.
This convention gratefully offers thanks for the interest shown
and generous support given to Sunrise Lutheran Camp through her
son, Peter D. Curry.
The Curry Cottage is a fitting memorial in her honor.
We who knew her, will always remember and cherish her
memory and her benefactions.
