Notes |
- The following sketch was published in The Durango (Colorado) Herald on April 16, 2011:
Dr. David S. Griffith earned his medical credentials in college, unlike many post-Civil War doctors who got their experience on the battlefield. He practiced medicine in Animas City before homesteading near what now is Elmore’s Corner. He was instrumental in bringing water to that area and founded a small town named Griffith, which later was changed to Falfa.
The following obituary was published in the Bedford (Pennsylvania) Gazette on January 29, 1904 and transcribed and available on www.pa-roots.org in 2012:
Dr. David S. Griffith, of Durango, Col., died on January 16, aged 64 years. He was born near Carlisle in 1840. He attended the Jefferson Medical college, Philadelphia, and was graduated from that institution. In 1870 he came to Bedford, where he resided for 20 years. He then moved to Durango and has lived there ever since. He served as surgeon of a Pennsylvania regiment during the war. In 1876 he was united in marriage to Miss Columbia Ashcom, daughter of the late Benjamin R. Ashcom, of Everett. He is survived by his wife and the following children: Benjamin, Charles W., Frederick G., and Reta.
