Charles "Edward" was a son of George W. Duren and Nancy J. Link Duren. He had 5 known siblings: Frank (b. 4/1880), Dollif (brother--b. 8/1883), Ada (b. 8/1885), Etta (Duren) Ardenreith (b. 3/1890), and Gertrude (b. 5/1891).
Edward was the first husband of my great-great-aunt, Alice McClary Duren. They married on December 20, 1909 and had a daughter, Ruth, who was born prematurely and died at only 2 days old on April 1, 1911. They also had a son Elgin about 1916 who my Aunt Annie remembers meeting and who she said could play a banjo and sing extremely well.
According to his WWI Draft Registration card, Edward was a lead miner working for the St. Louis Smelting & Refining Co. in St. Francois Co., MO. He was seriously injured when a wall caved in at the mine and he was taken to St. Luke's Hospital in St. Louis. Unfortunately he was pronounced dead when he arrived at the hospital.
A HUGE "Thank You" to Donald Yeager for visiting Doe Run Cemetery, taking this photo and sending a copy to me to add to Edward's memorial.
