In the quiet, rolling hills of Pocahontas County, West Virginia, lived a man whose life spanned generations – Captain Adam Curry. A veteran of the Revolutionary War, his story was one of courage and resilience, etched deep into the fabric of the community. His life, a tapestry woven with threads of history, was a testament to a time when the nation was just beginning. He lived through the birth of the country, fought for its freedom, and then settled in the quiet of this rural community.

 
The Pocahontas Times, a local newspaper, often carried stories of everyday life, but one particular issue dedicated a portion of its pages to Captain Curry's remarkable journey. This newspaper was how the people of the community received their news, and it was in its pages that Captain Curry’s life was chronicled. The paper cost $1.50 for a one year subscription, paid in advance, or $2.00 per year if not paid in advance.

 
Local news was very important. People had to rely on word of mouth for things that were happening. The paper also helped keep citizens informed of local issues. For example, during one of the years the paper published, the community was dealing with the threat of smallpox, and people were advised to be cautious. There were reports of accidents and violent incidents that reminded people of the dangers of the lumber mills and daily life.

 
But among the stories of accidents and the day-to-day concerns of local life, the obituary of Captain Curry stood out. His was a tale of a life well-lived. It was his incredible age that caught people's attention; he had lived to be 106 years old. It was not only the length of his life that was remarkable, but how he had lived it. He had been a soldier, a patriot, and a member of the community. His service during the Revolutionary War was particularly noteworthy in the obituary, which underscored his contribution to the nation's independence.

 
The Pocahontas Times was a vital part of community life. It wasn’t just about the news, or the price of a subscription. The inclusion of Captain Curry's obituary was a way to honor his life and service, and to remind the community of the importance of remembering their shared history. Through stories like his, the paper did more than report the news - it captured the very heart of Pocahontas County.
