Hannah Corry, Devoted Mother and Volunteer

December 24, 1976, Neenah-Menasha Daily Northwestern

Look down the rolls of Menasha citizens and you often find unsung heroes, and there were no lesser ones than the spouses of our city fathers.  For every distinguished gentleman who played a major role in the city, there seemed to be a steadfast partner to back him up.  Case in point today, city physician Dr. Corry and his wife, Hannah.  The article above gives her her due.  As the mother to 13 children who all found their own successes in life, you'd think that was enough.  But Mrs. Corry was instrumental in Menasha band activities, the Red Cross, Catholic society organizations, and even completed her late husband's term on the school board.  Yes, too often these women are overlooked so it is a service to us all that they receive the recognition due to them.  I will have more similar stories in the coming weeks.
