[1][4] Currie also served for many years in the New Jersey National Guard, rising to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in that organization.

[12][13] As a physician, Currie was a primary expert witness in an 1899 inquiry into the safety of Army beef rations.

[14][15][16][17] In early 1909, Currie slipped on a sidewalk causing an injury to his spine which left him ill for several months.

[18] As a representative on the town government, Currie was unable to attend any of the meetings, and over time the injury was deemed to be "fatal".

[19] Later deemed to be cancer, Currie died at his home in Englewood on February 28, 1911, following an operation to treat the disease he had been battling for over two years.
