The son of James & Sarah (Hetzer) Curran, he attended Dr. Pfeiffer's School in New Oxford, Adams County, Pennsylvania, where he may have received some medical training. In 1860 or shortly thereafter, he was presumably living in Crossroads, Windsor Township, York County, Pennsylvania, where his first child was born in 1862. He is not, however, found in the 1860 census. He married Mary Alice Blake and fathered James M. (b. 07/28/62), Carrie (b. @1866 - married D. K. Stamey), Oram G. (b. 03/16/71), and Thomas Howard (b. 09/11/74). All three of his sons became doctors.
A Civil War veteran, he enlisted and mustered into federal service at Harrisburg September 13, 1862, and assigned as assistant surgeon to the 68th Pennsylvania Infantry. Falling ill, he was discharged by surgeon's certificate December 27, 1862, but in 1865 became a civilian contract surgeon. He did not, however, earn a medical degree until he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1867.
In 1880, he lived in Hopewell Township, York County, where his name appears on many a Civil War veteran's and widow's pension application.
