Millionaire Durham Fulfills Promise With Elder Home Project
Retired insurance executive H W Durham, 75, spent about 1.2 million dollars to establish the Durham Memorial Home for the elderly on 20 acres near Bartlett. The Georgian style facility includes private rooms with baths, a beauty parlor, chapel, four living rooms, and a total heating system funded at around 70 thousand dollars. Monthly rates start near 100 dollars, with residents aged 65 and older, often on modest fixed incomes, living together in a self contained community designed for comfort and safety.
