I am researching the Durham family. My grandmother, Maude Sylvia Durham (?dob:1880?) was the daughter of Presley S. Durham (b. 10-16-183; d. 2-12-1913 in Mound City, MO) and Lois Durham (nee: Chambers; b. 12-23-1844; d. 8-14-1899, in Mound City). (They were married 2-6-1876 but I do not know where). Maude was born I think in Mound City, MO and married Gerhard (or George) Otzen in San Francisco in 1905 and had 3 sons: Lorenz Durham (my father), Keith Otzen, and Leigh H. Otzen). I think Maude died about 1924 in Alameda, CA. Presley Durham's 1913 obit. says he was a Mason and that he was survived by 9 children: Adie Niendorf, Idaho Mrs. W. M. Lansdown, CA Mrs. Gerhard Otzen, CA (This is Maude Sylvia) Mrs. _? S. Lysaght, St. Joseph, MO Leigh? Durham, Kansas City Mrs. J. Cooke, Mrs. M.D. Newton, Bert Durham, and Flora Durham: Mound City I would like to know Maude's birthdate; also, when Presley and Lois came to Mound City (I could not find a Durham in the 1850 Holt County Census). I believe Lois was Presley's second wife. I would like to know deeper family history than this. I am just starting to do family history. Can anyone help me out? Thanks. Linda Grimm Oberlin, OH
