In infancy her parents moved to Fairfield, where she had resided most all of her life.

She leaves two infant children to be cared for by her husband. About eight years ago Mrs. DUKE united with the Christian church. During this time she has not been a regular attendant of the church services, but never lost her interest in the cause of Christ and manifested an interest in her personal salvation and that of her family. A few hours before her death, with no warning of its approach, she spoke of her intention of attending chruch when she recovered, and of sending the children to Sunday school. She was a dutiful child, a kind sister, and an affectionate and faithful wife. Funeral ervices were held Thursday, June 5th, at the family residence in the southwestern part of the city, and were conducted by Rev. L. Mendenhall.
