Durham, born 1910.Notes on the Durham Family:“For some unknown reason Harriet Higgins Durham, the mother of Alwyn ClareDurham, decided to make up a name for her first born - Koralton Sylvan Durham.Historically, most Durham first borns had been named William. William Mead Durham,William Lewis Durham. Koralton hated his name and so began being known commonlyas KS. When he had children of his own, his firstborn was William C. and then hisfirstborn was also named William. When grandchildren began to come along WilliamLewis was deceased and Harriet had been known as Grandmother Durham to KS's andhis brother Clare's children and so to avoid confusion KS and his wife Pauline,commonly known as Polly, became Grandpa KS and Grandma Polly to 9 grandchildren(and a few great-grandchildren).K.S.'s famiy history, written by K.S. - Posted 30 Nov 2010 by Linda J Kinkead11
Note: This has been transcribed to the best of my (Linda’s) ability, including all ofK.S.'s many typos. The quality of his words and the essence of his soul would havebeen lost if it had been cleaned up. Originally it was typed on 2 pages completelyfilled.”Everyone should know somewhat of the history of their forefathers.Written by Koralton Sylvan Durham“THE DURHAM FAMILY is scattered all over England and Scotland as Earles, Dukes,Knights, etc. There is a county of Durham and a Durham Cathedral. in England. Thefourty used by General George Washington when he crossed the Delaware River atChristmas to capture Trenton were made at the Durham Forge; run by Robert Durham.The "Durham Boat" became the standard o transportation on the Delaware River foryears. There were hundreds of these b ?My Great-grandparents were William S. and Elizabeth Ann Durham, who lived on afarm at Bath, N. Y. In 1920 when campng on the old farm, we could see where theoriginal "log cabin" had stood, but the frame house was in bad shape and the barn wasfalling down. Uncle Ezras wife Lucinda was still living i Bath. My Grand-father, WilliamMeade Durham (called Meade) was born in 1841. He had two brothers and a sister whodeveloped families; but since my father has been gone, we have lost contact with mostof these people. Meade was a teacher at seventeen-then studied telegraphy and wasemployed opening Telegraph Offices in the many "boom Towns" of the Oil Discoveryperiod. On July 4th 1867 he married Plenty Nellie Olds, at Meadville Pa. Three childrenwere born to them--Willie at Pioneer Pa. Minnie at Fagundus Pa. and LeGrand at St. JoePa. in Butler CountyIn St. Joe Meade conducted a large general store and prospered. However this storewas struck by lightning and burned. Very little was saved. In the early 1890s the familymoved to Corry where Meade opened a Drug Store and established "Meads ModernMedicine Makers". This business grew and expanded until his death in 1902. At Meadsdeath his son LeGrand; who had studied pharmacy was given management of the drugstore.My father; William Lewis Durham (Willie until after he was married) was born August4, 1868 at Pioneer Pa. Today Pioneer is an open field. It was an Oil Boom town. Thefamily moved to oil towns establishing telegraph offices and general stores, some ofwhich burned. As a boy and young man Will helped his father in the sores. He attendedseverl semesteres (9 weeks each) at Grove City College and later took a course in bookkeeping at Duffs Business College in Pittsburgh. After moving to Corryhe worked in astore at Lakewoo N. Y. ; then was employed as a book-keeper for the ClimaxManufacturing Company in Corry. He was working there when I was born. At sometimehe was a salesman for Dawsons Wholesale Grocery. On September 24, 1896 he wasmarried to Harriet (Hatty) Higgins in Wrightsville (Warren County) and I was born April6 1898, in the apartment over the drug store. At some date a little later Will purchacedthe Corry Plai-Dealer--a weekly paper. My earliest memory is of the print-shop in thebasement room accross the ally from the National Ban Soon Grandfather moved the12
Drug Store into the brick building on the corner o Franklin Street and center; and dadmoved the Print-shop the former Drug store building. There I spent my boyhood andlearned something. We lived at 132 Mott Street in a house that was supposed to befinished new for me to be born in. About 1911-12 Will used up and borrowed all hecould to keep the paper going; so he sold the house, closed the shop and went on theroad a an independant salesman. Shortly he became associated with a company thatran voting contests for merchants, and gave away a Shetland Pony. The first World Warspoiled that business. About earl 1917 he connected with theH&H ManufacturingCompany, who made the Butter-Kist Corn Popper. He worked with that company forover seven years ; winning a number of nice prizes for the amount of business heturned in. He late worked again as a specialty salesman. He became ill and passedaway in 1937 at the age of 69Both Meade Durham and Will Durham were member of the Methodist Church andThe Prohibition Party. The Corry Plai-Dealer promoted the Prohibition PartyThe union of William L. Durham and Harriet Higgins produced three sons and onedaughter.1. Koralton Sylvan Durham who married Pauline Ermel Durham2.
