A native of Canada, born Aug. 31, 1833; removed to Kewaunee, Wis., in 1852, having previously passed two years in Massachusetts. In 1862, he associated with the firm of SLAUSON, GRIMMER & Co., manufacturers of lumber. The following year their saw mill burned, and they bought TAYLOR, CUNNINGHAM & Co.'s lumber interest, and continued manufacturing lumber until 1877, when the firm divided the property and dis- solved partnership. MR. DUVALL continued to carry on the mer- chandise department, that being a part of his share of the pro- ceeds of the firm. In 1878, he completed a large brick store, and the firm of JOSEPH DUVALL & Co. is doing an extensive business in the sale of general merchandise.
