Harry W. Durand

    Harry W. Durand, attorney and counselor at law, is a native Hoosier, Jackson being the county of his birth. He received his early education from the excellent system of public schools for which Indiana is noted, and later attended the graded schools of the city of Bloomington, in Monroe County. He thus acquired an uncommonly good academical education which he still further bettered by a course at the State University, situated at Bloomington, which graduated him in 1876. Later he studied law in that city, and practiced his chosen profession there until 1881 when he came to Chattanooga, and until 1886 was connected with the firm of Wheeler & Marshall. Since that time he has prosecuted his profession alone, and is justly regarded as one of the brightest attorneys at the bar of Hamilton County. October 3, 1883, he united in matrimony with Miss Jessie Lee Vincent, and their union has been blessed with the birth of one daughter. The father of the subject of this biography, Dr. J. J. Durand, is a native of Ohio and is a successful practicing physician of this county. His mother, whose maiden name was See, is a native Indianian.
