an illness dating back to Friday June 15, when he was taken ill rather suddenly. The

constitution naturally enervated by his advanced age. Deceased was a native of 
Nowhead, Fifeshire, Scotland and was one of a family of twelve children born to Mr. 
and Mrs. Thomas Duncan. When but a babe of one year, he with his mother, came to 
America, settling in NY state where his father, who preceded them to this country,
had made his home. After five or six years there they removed to Wisconsin, where 
during the next seven years they resided thence coming to Mitchell county, Iowa, 
which place for a number of years was their home. From Iowa they removed to South 
Dakota settling in the vicinity of Huron and again returned to Osage, Iowa after a 
few years. 

Mr. Duncan was married in Osage, Iowa Feb. 24th, 1874, to Miss Anna Hobkirk. To this 
union a family of sons and daughters were born viz: Wallace Duncan, of Washington; 
Burton Duncan of Stanwood; Frank Duncan, of Everett; John Duncan, of Novelty; Robert 
Duncan of Monroe, and Mrs. R.D. Noble, of Osage, Iowa, all of whom, with the 
exception of Mrs. Noble, unavoidably absent, were present at the funeral, which was 
held Wednesday from the M.E. church, Monroe, Rev. F.M. Bushong officiating; the 
burial being in Odd Fellows cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. John Byington, of Rockford, Ill, 
were also present at the funeral. They are on their way home from a tour of 
California and Oregon. Mrs. Byington is a niece of Mr. Duncan. 

The last 15 years of Mr. Duncan's life were spent in Snohomish County, first in 
Marshland district and the past four years in Monroe. Mr. Duncan was reared in the 
Presbyterian faith, which he practiced throughout his life. He was a very worthy man,
successful, and is survived by his good wife and a splendid family, who have the 
profound sympathy of this community because of the death of their beloved husband and
father. The pallbearers were T.N. Bennett, M.W. Carpenter, E.T. Bascom, Lincoln
