He was 80 years of age. The sixteenth child in a family of nineteen children, Mr. Durfee was left an orphan in Quincy, Ill., when less than 7 years old. At 15, after having faced many of the hardships of frontier life in Illinois in the early fifties, he joined an emigrant train of sixty-five prarie schooners at Council Bluffs, Iowa, and started for the unknown West. After almost five months of hardships, the little band, saddened by the loss of two of its members in encounters with the Indians, reached San Bernardino. Mr. Durfee remained there for three years, and when he was 18 years of age married Miss Diantha B. Clemenson, a resident of San Bernardino. The next year the couple moved to the homestead near El Monte, on which they lived continuously for more than sixty years. Mr. Durfee not only accumulated a large amount of valuable land around El Monte, but also took a prominent part in movements to advance that section of the county and also in a number of projects of state-wide importance. As a delegate many times in succession to county and State Republican conventions he was widely known in political circles. For more than a quarter of a century he was a trustee of La Puente school and took a keen interest. Mr. Durfee leaves a widow, a daughter, Mrs. Albert Slack, and a son, James R. Durfee, all residing a short distance outside of El Monte. The funeral services will be conducted by Rev. R. M. Webster of Sierra Madre and Rev. J. D. Croan of El Monte at the Durfee home tomorrow at 2 p.m., after which the body will be taken for cremation.
