Mother-Daughter
Die of Pneumonia

Another
Daughter in Norwich Family Seriously Ill in Hospital----Mother Was
Born in Morris
---------------------------------------
Norwich, Feb. 1.---Mrs. Mary A (Thurston) Duroe,
widow of C. R. Duroe, died at her home, 89 North Broad street, this
city shortly after 4 o'clock this afternoon, following a two weeks
illness of lobar pneumonia. A daughter, Miss Jane Duroe, a teacher
in the Norwich public schools, died of the same disease at 9:30
o'clock last night. Another daughter, Miss Eliza Duroe, who for some
time has conducted a beauty parlor at the family home was removed
yesterday afternoon to the Norwich Memorial hospital, also stricken
with pneumonia.
The mother, who passed her 80th
birthday anniversary a few months ago, was born near Morris. After
her marriage to Mr. Duroe, the family moved to a farm in Norwich
Quarter, on the South New Berlin road, where Mr. Duroe became one of
the leading farmers of that section and the home was widely known for
its hospitality. The family was active in the Norwich Congregational
church.
Twenty years ago they moved to a larger farm on Great
Brook in the town of New Berlin where Mr. Duroe died 10 years ago.
Three years ago the remaining members of the family returned to
Norwich and bought the home on North Broad street.
Besides the daughter ill in the hospital, another
daughter, Miss Ruth H. Duroe, resides at home; a son, Vernon Duroe,
is a teacher in Brooklyn; and Francis Duroe is a farmer near Morris.
A double funeral service will probably be held Friday afternoon.
