Death record for his wife Lydia Davis also on Seeking Michigan
http://seekingmichigan.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/singleitem/collection/p16317coll1/id/716664/rec/3. She died Nov 22, 1935 at age 75 (birth date unk)
I think Joseph was the son of George Ephraim Curry (#180023630) and Mary Ester Scott Curry #180024341. However, I haven't been able to find any records to confirm this. 1861 census shows they had a son Joseph age 10, but he wasn't listed with the family in 1871 census.
1900 census (Corwith, Otsego, MI) shows Joseph & Lydia Curry and children Norman & Mary. Shows they had been married 20 years and that Joseph immigrated in 1869.
Death record states Joseph had been in US for 66 years.
Informant on both death records was their son Norman. His marriage record also shows his mother's maiden name was "Davis".

Gravesite Details
Although the stone says simply 'Mother' I believe this to be Lydia Curry. Any additional information would be appreciated.
