  • Notes 
    • STATUS: Commercial.
    • BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY: According to the 1911 Canada census, he was born in the USA and immigrated in 1907 with his wife Emma (likely an error). In Vancouver, BC, he was a portrait photographer who operated under the name Duryea Photo Company. In the 1910s he was responsible for photographing many students at the University of British Columbia campus of McGill University.

      He appears to have moved to San Diego, CA, as he is in the 1920 US census as a photographer, age 62, whose wife's name is enumerated as Anna E. He appears to have retired by 1930 as the US census for that year shows him and his wife living in San Diego, but he has no occupation. [25]
