=== Relocating to Aurora in Sevier County === [[Image:Sevier_County_Map.jpg|right|thumb|500px|<center>'''Map of Sevier County, Utah.'''</center>]] In the 1875, Durfee's brother-in law [[Ezra_H._Curtis|Ezra Curtis]] founded Willow Bend (now Aurora), Sevier County, on the northern end of what is now state highway 89. Soon, Jabez Durfee and his family followed the Curtises to Willow Bend. Durfee worked as a farmer, fruit grower, carpenter and handyman. He is credited with devising a better design for their farm implements that improved their furrowing in the early years. Jabez and Celestia Curtis Durfee eventually had ten children, seven of whom survived to adulthood and married.
