A History of Mr. F.H. Durham and the Durham Grocery Co.

F.H. Durham: S.H. Grinstead & Co.; Durham & Hurt; Durham-Fraser; & the Durham Grocery Co., of Columbia, 1913 - 1980s.

By JIM

F.H. Durham, a native and resident of Taylor County then serving as postmaster of Merrimac, Taylor County, accepted a managerial position for the Columbia branch of the S.H. Grinstead & Co. produce house in very late 1913, succeeding his brother R.H. Durham who had died unexpectedly in November, aged 36 years. A little over a year later, F.H. bought from J.B. Barbee a house in Columbia "near the Graded School" and he and his family soon moved there.

Come October 1915, Mr. Durham paid Henry Ingram $900 for his one-half interest in the Claud Hurt property, with he (Durham) and Henry Hurt, who owned the other half interest, planning to be "associated together in running the Grinstead poultry business at this place." Durham & Hurt intended to put a large building on the site, "between where the livery stable burned out and the residence," with hopes of having the building up in two weeks.

Phillip Coffey - Whimsical

Whimsical - By Phillip Coffey

Much is whimsical as he walks in and out of the shadows
On a hot, humid July day; hears about a lot of serious stuff
But what can he do with so much to undo on his path
To clean living on his way to Glory land.
