Barbour, Durwood, 1929-2016

M. Durwood Barbour, a white postcard collector, resident of Raleigh, N.C., and a member of the 1952 class of the University of North Carolina, became interested in picture postcards as an offshoot from his hobby of collecting North Carolina bank notes and his appreciation for early photographic images of the state.

Marion Durwood Barbour was born 4 January 1929 in Johnston County, North Carolina, and died 2 March 2016 in Wake County, North Carolina. By profession he was a bituminous design engineer, receiving a degree in geology from the University of North Carolina in 1952.
