Charles F. Currie
(1842–1913), a Union Army veteran of the United States Civil War, ran a
grocery business in Camden, New Jersey, and also served on the Board of
Education and as a member of the Board of Freeholders. In 1889, he was elected
superindendent of the County Insane Asylum in Blackwood, New Jersey. The
institution achieved such a high quality of care for its patients under Currie's
management that other institutions implemented his methods and rules. Currie
remained superintendent until his health forced him to resign his position in
1910.
