W.H. Duryea, an Arizona pioneer who is well known by many 
Phoenix people died a few days ago in Globe.  Of him the 
Silver Belt says:"W.H. Duryea was a native of New York state 
but lived the greater part of his life on the Pacific coast 
and in Arizona.  He came to Globe in 1878 and had lived here 
continuously since.  After coming here he was interested for 
a time in the Champion Mill and in 1879 or 1880 opened a 
general merchandise store in the adobe building north of 
Pinal Creek Crossing that was afterward occupied by G.S. 
Van Wagenen and was burned down July 2, 1901.  Besides a 
sister, the deceased is survived by a brother Edward Duryea 
of Roslyn N.Y. and a niece, Mrs. N. Depew living in 
California.  W.H. Duryea was a good citizen, of kindly 
disposition, fond of anecdote and a man who will be long 
remembered among the pioneer residents of Globe."
