The lad secured his education there in the public schools, after leaving which he became apprenticed to the tailor's trade under his father, who taught him thoroughly and comprehensively in every branch of the vocation. About 1893 C. W. Duvall came to Piqua and engaged in the tailoring business and for twenty years continued at the same location, in 1913 coming to his present store.

He is likewise a designer of taste and talent, while as a business man he possesses many good qualities. Mr. Duvall married Edith, daughter of J. V. Seibert, of Piqua, and they were active in the various movements carried on during the period of the war, being particularly generous in their support of the Red Cross Society.
