     She was born on 15 October 1892 at St. Louis, Missouri, USA.2 Alodia married Ralph Everett Curry on 18 June 1921 at Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, USA.4,2,1,5,3
     Alodia A. Hutchison died on 7 May 1944 at Sycamore, Cortland Twp., DeKalb County, Illinois, USA, at age 51.2,6
     Alodia A. Hutchison was buried on 9 May 1944 at Elmwood Cemetery, Sycamore, Sycamore Twp., DeKalb County, Illinois, USA.7,2,8
     The following article appeared in the Farmer City, Illinois Farmer City Journal, 21 July 1921 :
Dr. R. E. Curry Married.
     In a letter to his uncle and former business partner. Dr. J. A. Nowlin, received Tuesday, Dr. Ralph E. Curry of Aurora acknowledged that he was now a married man and gave particulars of the happy event and sent a picture of himself and bride. Dr. Nowlin suspected his nephew had committed matrimony and charged him with the same, receiving a full confession by return mail.
     The marriage took place in Chicago on Saturday morning, June 18, the ceremony being performed by Rev. Mr. Bushingham, pastor of the First M. E. church. The couple are now at home at 48 North Fourth street, Aurora.
     Mrs. Curry was formerly Miss Alodia Hutchison (sic), only daughter of Mrs. M. E. Hutchinson of Inglewood, a suburb of Los Angeles, Cal. She is a graduate of the Colorado State normal at Greely and the past term was commercial teacher and atheltic (sic) director at the Calexico Union high school, Calexico, Cal. The previous two years she was teaching at. Nogales, Ariz. It was during her residence at Nogales that she and Dr. Curry met, the doctor being in service as first lieutenant at Stephen D. Little camp, Nogales, during the World war.
     With the exception of the two years spent in army service, Dr. Curry spent the past seven years in Farmer City in a partnership (sic) with Dr. Nowlin. This entire community got to know him and like him immensely. His public schooling was completed at Holdrege, Neb., his home town, and he finished the course in osteopathy at Des Moines, Iowa. Although Dr. Curry held back the news of his marriage for thirty days, his many friends here congratulate him heartily and wish him and his all Joy and prosperity.3

     In the obituary of Dr. Ralph Everett Curry who died 28 August 1947, his wife, the former Alodia A. Hutchison was listed as predeceased.5,9
     Note regarding Alodia A. Hutchison and Mrs. M. E. Hutchinson: Alodia's maiden name is consistently given as Hutchison, including a 1919 news item listing teachers in the Nogales high school. In the report of her marriage, her mother is identified as Mrs. M. E. Hutchinson, which may be a typographical error. FUrther research is needed (Rick Moffat, November 2024 at Mesa, Maricopa County, Arizona, USA.)10

     Research notes (January 2021):
The 1926 City Directory for Decatur Illinois lists Glenn W. (a bookkeeper) and Lucille Bramel lived at 334 West Main. The following year, only she was listed at this address.

In John Renner's 1950 obituary, his daughter Mrs. James Puckett was a survivor. Either she was a daughter from a previous marriage (for either Lucille or John) or she married very young. I cannot find records to verify her given name or any other details. She was listed as deceased in Lucille 's onbituary.13
