The DURHAM family is an ancient one in England, and has been well represented in this country since the early days of colonization. They have been mainly identified with agricultural pursuits, and are well represented at the present time by Raymond C. DURHAM, a farmer of Hanover, Morris county, New Jersey. His father, Robert DURHAM, was born in Morris county, New Jersey, and now lives retired in Flocktown, at an advanced age. He married Julia BIRD, and they had seven children, five of whom are living.

Raymond Cleveland DURHAM was born in Morris county in 1885, and was educated in the public schools of the county. He was very young when he engaged in farming, at first on the home farm, then in 1906 removed to Morris county, New Jersey, where he resides on a farm of eighty acres, on which he has been engaged in general farming very successfully. He is a Republican in political opinion, and a member f the Junior Order of United American Mechanics. He devotes a considerable portion of his time to diary farming, in which he has also been successful. Mr. DURHAM married Mary Emma PETRY, and they have one child: Raymond Gilbert.
