  • Notes 
    • S.R. Durand: "In 1900, my father's brother, Samuel Benjamin Durand, died at the age of 30 in Denver. He had graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1892 with a degree in Civil Engineering, and was the first to graduate a year later from Stanford University with an advanced degree in the same field. He had worked for the United States Radiator Company in Dunkirk, New York, starting in the foundry, where (my father always thought) he had been afflicted with lung trouble from silicosis, and unknown disease in those days. He had risen to the position of secretary of the company and had been married for two years at the time of his death. My grandmother and his wife were with him for many months during his attempt to recuperate in Denver, and it must have been very sad for my grandmother to have lost a son of about the same age as that of her husband at his death."
