Through information from fellow researchers John Graso and Dan Peterson, I was able to fill in a few more blanks about where he went to high school and a middle initial.

I found a Currie family in Evanston . Alexander (b.1881) and Helen D. (b.1882) in Scotland. Agnes born in Canada in 1910.  James born c. 1917.
