Career
She received her early education in Thetford Academy, at that time one of the most famous institutions in New England. In this celebrated school Mission Slade early found herself ranking among the foremost, not only in the ordinary studies, but also in the higher branches of Greek, Latin and mathematics, which she pursued far into the college course. After leaving the Academy with the highest reputation for scholarship, Mission Slade went to Boston, where under distinguished teachers she continued her studies in music, French and other branches of polite literature, thus adding a metropolitan finish not easily acquired in rural institutions.
Mission Slade married Honorary
Moody Currier, the distinguished banker in Manchester, New Hampshire, who was in 1885 and 1886 governor of the state. Although she has never given to the public any of her literary productions, her education and critical tastes would warrant success in such an undertaking.
She does not seek distinction by a display to the world of her charities and benefactions, which are many, and known only to those who receive them. She believes that the proper sphere of woman is her home, which she renders happy and adorns by devoting to it the best energies of her life.
By her care and watchfulness she threw around her husband"s declining years a mantle of joy and gladness.
At the time of her death Mistress Currier was one of the wealthiest women in the State of New Hampshire. This article incorporates text from the 1903 State Builders.
