Duncan - Harriet Taylor
HARRIET TAYLOR DUNCAN
Source: Waveland Independent - January 10, 1913
The body of Mrs. John W. Duncan was brought here for burial on Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Duncan lived in Terre Haute, where they have no relatives. Mrs. Duncan’s maiden name was Taylor, a sister of Samuel and Alexander Taylor, but she had lost track of her relatives who lived near Byron. Her last request was that she be buried by the side of her daughter, Ellen, in the Fisher graveyard. Mr. Duncan was also ill but came here to carry out her wishes. He found that his nephew Grant Taylor, was living on a farm which he formerly owned near Byron. Arrangements were made to have a short service at the Byron Church in the afternoon. Mr. Duncan was too feeble to make the trip to Byron, and returned to Terre Haute. He remembered Ras Clore, Mr. H. M. Demaree and a few other of the old residents. - kbz
