A funeral

When we were first married Ray would take me along on news stories if it was okay. In the Topeka State House there are a couple of murals done by John Stuart Curry. My granddaughter, Holly, was just in Topeka at the statehouse and said they are redoing the statehouse so things are sort of a mess. At the time he was doing the two paintings he got mad at the legislature so he painted all the pigs tails straight. We saw a copy of the picture when we were in Russia 1979 as part of a traveling USA exhibit. Curry's service was held in Topeka but he was buried in a little town just east of Valley Falls, Kansas. I know his body was in the church. He was buried in the small church's cemetery. A great many of his paintings are in Kansas State and once when we were in Milwaukee and went to their art gallery they were having a John Curry art show. His sister was married to Missouri Senator Stuart Symington.
