P. O. DUFFY was born September 10, 1837, in Hartsville, Tenn.  He is a
son of Francis and Permelia (Parker) Duffy.  In 1845 he came with his
parents to Todd County and was raised on his father's farm, where he
remained until the age of sixteen years.  He then secured employment as
as clerk in the store of Taylor & Duffy, and remained with this firm about
one year, after which his father opened a store and he began then to clerk
for him.  They carried on the business until the death of his father,
which occurred May 2, 1858.  The business then was closed out.  In 1869
he engaged in merchandising and continued until the spring of 1884.  In
1879 he was elected Magistrate and still holds the office.  He owns a
steam saw-mill and operates two steam threshing machines and is engaged
in farming.  He was married in 1857 to Miss Mary E., daughter of Burnley
D. Smith, one of the oldest settlers in the county.  They have three sons
and five daughters.  Mr. Duffy is a member of the Knights of Honor and
treasurer of the same organization.  He is an old and respected citizen
of the county, well and favorably known.
