"General Harmanus B. Duryea, who died at Navesink, his country seat in New Jersey, Tuesday afternoon, was one of the figures in the history of this city. … His father was Cornelius Rapalyea Duryea, who removed to Newtown, when Harmanus was born in 1815. In 1825 the family removed to this city, where young Duryea prosecuted his early studies, and when he prepared for the law as his profession he for a time studied with Judge Thomas W. Clerke, of the Supreme Court, First District. He afterwards read with the late Judge John Dikeman and Judge John Greenwood, with whom be afterwards went into a legal partnership, which lasted over half a century. … In 1842 be was appointed a Supreme Court Commissioner, a position equal in power to that of a Supreme Court Judge In Chambers. This position he held until the office was abolished in 1846. … In 1857 he was chosen to the State Assembly, and re-elected in 1858, being at that time the only Republican member of the House south of Albany.
