Notes:

The Schnellman Family Tree and biegel Family Tree on Ancestry.com incorrectly show his parents as John Duffy (1844-1917) and Ellen Gallery (1851-1922). That couple resided in Scott County, Minnesota, in 1900. The Harry cited as their son was born in Minnesota in 1890.

The 1900 census, in which he is shown as Henry Duffy, age 14, born Jun 1885, has his family living in Lincoln, Nebraska.

In the 1906 city directory of Lincoln, Nebraska, he was Henry Duffy, a laborer rooming at 111 N 12th. He was not in the 1905 Lincoln directory.

In the 1907 Lincoln directory, he is probably the Henry E Duffy, driver, residing at 1328 O.

In the 1908 Lincoln directory, he is probably the Henry Duffy, switchman C B & Q, residing at 2013 O.

In the 1909 Lincoln directory, he may be the Henry Duffy, driver for Miller & Paine, living at 328 N 7th.

He is not listed in the 1910 Lincoln directory.

Nebraska Marriages shows Henry E Duffy, b. ca 1885, age 20, married Myrtle Dyer, age 19, in Lancaster, Nebraska, on 15 Dec 1905. Henry was the son of James Duffy and Rachel Ivers.

He registered for the draft as Harry Edward Duffy on September 9, 1918, in Minneapolis. He gave his permanent address as 1847 East 25th-and-a-half Street in Minneapolis although he listed his nearest relative as Ida M. T. Duffy of 633 East 5th Street in St. Paul. Harry was short and of medium build with brown eyes and dark brown hair. He was a railroad brakeman for the River Division of the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul Railroad. For this registration, the registrant was not required to provide his place of birth.

He and his family lived at 1808 East 24th Street in Minneapolis at the time of the 1920 census. Harry was born in Kansas, as was his father. Harry’s mother was born in Nebraska.

In the 1930 census, in which for some reason he was entered as “Dubby”, he and his family lived at 2111 Snelling Avenue in Minneapolis. He was a railroad switchman and was not a veteran. Both of his parents had been born in Ireland.

In the 1940 census, Harry is shown as born in Minnesota. He and Ida and all of their children live at 3105 33rd Avenue S in a rented residence. Harry was not employed and was unable to work. Harry and Ida had fourth-grade educations. The main breadwinners for the household appear to be Robert, George, and Raymond. The address of 3105 33rd Avenue S was also the address Harry gave for his daughter Marion’s death certificate.

There was a Pearl, age 1, in the family in the 1940 census but this must have been a confusion with Raymond’s new wife who also may have been living in the household at the time.

Harry was never in the armed services. He died of basilar artery thrombosis. His body was autopsied. The informant for his death certificate was his son, Robert E Duffy of 9009 Bryant Avenue South.

his draft registration said June 3rd, his death certificate says June 30
