<strong>Durand</strong> <strong>Heritage</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> <strong>Newsletter</strong> Summer, 2003<br />
The back page… In a record that will stand for decades (if not centuries), David <strong>Durand</strong> in his youth<br />
bagged a deer weighing 1,300 pounds. David’s story of this amazing feat will appear in the Fall issue. Also<br />
in the Fall issue we will see how census information can help us look in new ways at those we always<br />
thought of as old. Plus whatever else might happen to come in by mail or email or word of mouth….<br />

In this “classical” photo supplied by Mavis Johnston<br />
and now preserved in the DHF archives, these cut-ups,<br />
her father and others, were gathered in 1924 at the farm of<br />
Ray and Alma Dalton in Alberta, Canada.. L to R: Leonard<br />
<strong>Durand</strong> (Mavis’s father), Frank Koch, Esther, Laurence,<br />
and Alma (<strong>Durand</strong>) Dalton. Leonard, Laurence,<br />
Esther, and Alma were the youngest children of Joseph<br />
Albert (Albert) and Mary <strong>Durand</strong>. Esther, who would be<br />
14 years of age in this photo, later married Frank Koch.<br />
Leonard is flipping Frank’s tie. Laurence is getting<br />
ready to swig a soda.. Alma is holding a bunch of carrots.<br />
What Frank and Esther are holding is a mystery, but the<br />
photo seems to have a theme. Note the kerosene lantern.<br />
Thanks to Peter Keppel of Mayer, Minnesota for digitizing<br />
this photo and the identification on the back.<br />
