DURHAM, Benjamin - fire
Source: Greencastle Banner 19 oct 1859 p2
We regret that the fine dwelling house of our friend Benjamin Durham just on the eve of being completed, was entirely consumed by fire a few days since. The house was situated near Parkersburg and when fully completed would have been one of the finest houses in the county. Since the burning of his house, Mr. Durham has purchased property in Greencastle with the intention of being a permanent citizen amongst us.
