Dr. Bartlett Leonidas Snipes Durham (November 3, 1824-February 2, 1859) was an
American physician and entrepreneur whose land, donated for a railway station,
became the location of Durham, North Carolina, named for him.....
Bartlett Durham died a bachelor, from pneumonia on February 2, 1859......
(Bartlett) Durham was laid to rest in a windowed iron coffin in an unmarked grave
on the grounds of Antioch Cemetery in Orange County, wearing "gold-rimmed"
glasses. Shortly after Durham County was formed, Julian S. Carr began a public
campaign advocating the exhumation and reburial of Bartlett Durham's remains
within his namesake city. Nearly a decade after Carr, himself, had died, Durham
officials exhumed the coffin on June 27, 1933, with Mayor W.F. Carr and County
Commissioner John Harris officially accepting the remains for the city and county.
It was transported to Hall-Wynne Funeral Home, where it lay in state for several
days. Reburial took place Jan. 2, 1934, in Maplewood Cemetery, under a marker
that lists incorrect middle name, and erroneous dates of birth and death.
