John Duncan was born in Jefferson county, Tennessee, Oct. 2, 1858. Came to Iowa in 1880. Was married to Lizzie Thornton in 1884. Four children were born to them, Bessie, Elbert, Allen and Cassie.

They moved to Scotland county, Mo., in the spring of 1897, locating near Memphis. But John being in poor health most of the time they returned to Iowa about two weeks ago, since which time he rapidly grew worse, until the end came Friday, June 29.

John united with the M.E. church in 1884; and was a loving and provident father. He leaves a wife, three children, five sisters and a brother to mourn his loss - - the youngest child Cassie having died in 1895.

The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. E.L. Tennant of the M.E. church from text in 1st Chron., 29:15. A large company of friends followed the remains to their resting place in the cemetery at Clay Grove, Iowa.
