personal was $800. In the 1850 census they are living with Hiram 's mother.

Hiram Hansford Durham was born in Jan. on the 24th day in 1828. He was born in
Roane Co. Tennessee. His father either divorced or ran off to South Carolina
about 1835 and remarried Cynthia Jeanette Hames. Hiram and h is siblings were
reared by his mother, Charlotte.
On September 16, 1849 he married Nancy C. Everett. They evidently started married
life living with his family. The 1850 census lists them with his mother. According
to Hiram's War Pension Application they moved to Missouri in 1852 and stayed
until 1854. By 1860 he and his wife were found in Franklin County TN. In the1860
census his occupation was listed as overseer, probably for a Mr. Gregory as he
lived on this man's land before the Civil War. In 1870 and 1880 he is listed
as a farmer.
In May 1861 he joined Co. E of the 17th Tennessee Regt. Later that year he was
discharged from the service at Camp Trousdale because of pneumonia. A Lt. Taint?
went with him to Nashville and put him on the train to go home. After he recovered
he went back and rejoined his company at Tupelo. In 1863 in Kingston Georgia
he was discharged again. He had developed inflammatory rheumatism and then chronic
diarrhea. (According to two men who knew him, a Jacob Tipps and Jack Lumbaugh,
he develop ed chronic diarrhea and then typhoid fever and was in the hospital
in Kingston Georgia from July until September.)
According to his application in 1903 , he never recovered from the illnes ses
he developed during the war and had not been stout since then. In 1903 he lived
on a 50 acre farm with only 5 acres in cultivation and was unable to do manual
labor. His health had been failing for years and he w as finallly unable to support
himself. Also, he evidently had two daughters living with him at the time and
one was an invalid.
He died sometime after April, 1903. (his application is dated then) He is buried
in Franklin Co. in the old Bean's Creek Cem. His tombstone reads Hiram H. Durham
Co. E 17 Tenn. Inf. C.S.A.

Obituary of Nancy Clementine (Everett) Durham
1827-1896
Source: Copy of newspaper clipping (probably Franklin Co. News in Franklin Co,
TN) [see transcriber notes at end of document]
The most deplorable accident in the history of this community occurred here last
Sunday morning. Mr. and Mrs. H.H. Durham started to preaching, on reaching the
house of Wm. Busby, two miles distance, Mr. Durham alighted to get some water.
While the bucket was being lowered the mule became frightened at the rattle of
the windless and ran into the fence. Mrs. Durham was thrown from the buggy and
sustained injuries that resulted in her death three hours afterwards. Mrs. Durham
was a devoted member of the Baptist church and her kindly disposition and nobleness
of heart made her friends wherever she was known. Weep not, husband and children,
at the untimely and awful summons. While you are overwhelmed with grief be consoled
by the fact that sweet mother is enjoying that glorious rest that remaineth for
the people of God. "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord. Yea sayeth
the spirit for they rest from their labor and their works so follow them."
