ahwt Posts: 2334 Registered: Mar 2003	posted 03-14-2003 06:42 PM Freeman Durgin of St. Louis had some fun I think with this Medallion silver ladle. The soldier does not look so ominous or menacing if you look closely. This ladle was retailed by W C Defriez. IP: Logged

bascall Posts: 1629 Registered: Nov 99	posted 07-07-2008 09:24 PM William Durgin and Freeman Durgin may have been cousins or related some way because they are listed together in the 1850 U S Federal Census for Boston, Massachusetts. Both are 17 years of age and listed as silversmith. There is no one in the household old enough to be Freeman's master though. In case it is not already common knowledge, and it can probably be assumed anyway, Freeman A Durgin is listed as a silverplater in the 1880 U S Federal Census for St Louis, Missouri and in the 1890 St Louis City Directory.
