[Extract from his obituary in the The Evening Tribune, 1 September 1959]

            “Eminent historian, inimitable humorist, and an after dinner speaker par excellence, Dr. Duff was a man of many parts. His career embraced the callings of county school teacher, newspaperman and publisher, bibliophile and financier. Also he was able to sandwich between these pursuits participation in sports and sports administration. Dr. Duff was a native of Huron County being born in Bluevale on Jan.1, 1878.

           A county school teacher from 1896-1900, he entered the newspaper field and was a reporter at Wingham, Stratford, Galt and Welland. Six months after coming to Welland in 1907 he bought a half interest in the Welland Telegraph. Later he bought it outright and was editor and publisher until 1926. In 1921 he built a new building to house the Telegraph and the same year amalgamated with it the Welland Tribune. He sold the paper in 1926 to an Ontario syndicate.”
