Informant at death listed as "Mrs. Jean E. Durham" of 7109 Dale Avenue. Harry (Henry) E. Durham, age 33, is listed as a "Glass-Blower" in the 1910 Census for St. Louis (Independent City), Missouri. There is a Henry Durham, age 22 and "single" listed as "Glass worker - Furniture Co.) in the 1900 Census for Hamilton County, Ohio (Cincinnati Ward 16 - District 28).

Durham, age 33 and "married" within the year, is listed as "son-in-law" in the household of Margaret R. Simmons. (NOTE: It looks like Henry (Harry) is listed in the household of John A. Porter, but J. Elizabeth Simmons (divorced) is listed above as a daughter of Margaret Simmons. Henry E. Durham is listed married to J. Elizabeth, age 41 in the 1930 Census, which is consistent to J. Elizabeth Simmons, age 21 in the 1910 Census.)
