FRANK SCHUR, grocer, Durand, was born in Weidenden-Bifick Westphalia,
March 6, 1832. Came to the United States in 1842; lived nearly five
years in New York City. Then came to St. Louis and tended a store about
two years. Then, in 1849, came to Chippewa Falls on a "keel boat" from
Reed's Landing, and has lived ever since in the Chippewa Valley, most
of the time in charge of a boarding house. He was married, May 3, 1857,
to Miss Catherine Burrell, of Prairie du Chien, Wis. They have seven
children living-Walter, Roland, Ernest, Jennie, Katie, Hurlburt and
May. There was no settler at or near Durand when he first passed by
there on his way to Chippewa Falls.
