Series 2: Durham family
Scope and Contents
This series consists of material related to the Durham family generally as well as a few members of Knowlton Durham's immediate family: his father Caleb Wheeler Durham (1848-1910) and his brothers Henry "Hal" Welles Durham (1874-1959) and Leicester Durham (1877-1933). The clippings and ephemera largely have to do with Leicester's children with Viola Ethel "Pansy" Hyde Durham: Carol, Richard Hyde, John Dickinson, and Sarah "Sally" Welles. Also included is a single volume Fire Prevention Record Journal which was accessioned with this collection but has no clear link to the Durham family.
