Erman Jasper Durham
Birth: 	Sep. 17, 1911
Livingston County
Kentucky, USA
Death: 	Mar. 3, 1998
Paducah
McCracken County
Kentucky, USA

Erman was the third of nine children born to Rosa L. Humes and Charles
D. Durham. Erman married Ruth E. Owens on 31 July 1937 and they never
had children.

A PERSONAL ASIDE: I remember Erman. He was known by friends and family to
be more than a little cantankerous. Upon seeing the honey jar as a fixture
on his stone, I had to wonder if it was an offering to "sweeten him up."

Death: 	May 9, 1953
Wayne County
Michigan, USA

Rossie was the seventh of nine children born to Rosa L. Humes and Charles
D. Durham. Records reflect that he enlisted in the U.S. Army on 30 Sep 1940
at Fort Knox, Kentucky, and was assigned to the Medical Department. He
married Alma Maude Wells about 1943 while stationed at Fort Bragg, North
Carolina. There were no known children from the marriage.

On April 11, 1946, the Greensboro (NC) Record newspaper had at article
relating that Rossie was one of the 28 veterans Honorably Discharged 31
Mar 1946, per the local Draft Board. However, he did not remain in the
Greensboro area. Like many Kentuckians after the war, Rossie and Maude
moved to the Detroit area where he worked until his untimely death.
