Guy W. Currier

Guy Wilbur Currier (December 22, 1867 – June 21, 1930)[1] was a lawyer and politician in Massachusetts.[2][3][4] He served in both houses of the Massachusetts legislature (Massachusetts General Court).[2]

Guy W. Currier, as of 1906.

Currier received his undergraduate degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his law degree from Boston University School of Law.[1] He married actress Marie Burress in 1894.[5][6] She was part of the Boston Museum Stock Company.[7] As Mrs. Guy Currier, she established Four Wind Farm, later known as Marianden, an outdoor theater and theater training program.[8]

An ally of Calvin Coolidge, Currier had social distinction, wealth, personal charm and broad circle of friends which Coolidge lacked, and which would have a lasting impact on his political career.[9] He was a Democrat.[10] From 1922 to 1930, Currier was a Trustee of the Boston Public Library.[1]

Currier died at his summer home in Peterborough, New Hampshire, at the age of 62.[1] His son, also named Guy Currier (died 1958), graduated from Yale University and Cambridge University.[11]
