Coast and Geodetic Survey, rapidly rising to rank of captain, achieving office who up to that time had commanded a vessel in this service. Captain DuVal's monograph on work but this department is still in use as a text book by its officers.
At the outbreak of the civil wars, he resigned his commission to enlist in the Confederate army, entering on July 19, 1861, as 2nd lieutenant, and retiring after four years of distinguished service, with the rank of Colonel. He held the chair of mathematics in the Tallahassee college for some time during the dark days of the reconstruction, resigning later to take up the practive of his profession. Colonel DuVal was in command of the first extended surveys in the now famous Everglades, and made reports concerning their drainage which are only recently being put to practical use in the reclamation of millions of acres of fertile land. He contacted a large part of the railway system of Florida and reported on the feasibility of the trans-oceanic railway to Key West, twenty years ago.
Comes to Santa Fe.
Until his removal to Santa Fe with his family in 1903, he continued to serve his state and profession in a distinguished degree, being state engineer and president of the Southern Society of Civil Engineers for many years. Shortly after coming to this territory, he suffered a stroke of paralysis, but owing to his vigorous constitution, he resisted the encroachments of the disease until recently. when the severe shock of the death of his oldest son occasioned a collapse from which he did not decover.
Always a profound student, Colonel DuVal was the author of several technical works, and was engaged upon a text book on trigonometry when stricken with his last illness.
He married during the war his cousin Miss Mollie Rozelle, of Leesburg, Va., who lived but a short time. In 1872 he married Miss Olivia Harrison, daughter of Dr. Robert Henry Harrison of Petersburg, Va., by whom three children. Mrs. W. G. Turley, Mrs. T. A. Hayden and Mrs. Hugh DuVall, and his aged sister Mrs. Laura Pope DuVall of Austin, Texas, he is survived.
Kind and just honorable and chivalrous, a typical southern gentleman of the old school, Colonel DuVall commanded the respect and esteem of all who knew him.
