Source: Mt. Sterling, Kentucky Advocate 8 June 1920 p 1
William Duncan, 67 years old, was found dead on the morning of May 27th at the home of his sister, Mrs. Katie Moore with whom he made his residence at New Market, Indiana for some time. Death was due to heart failure and it is not known how long he had been dead when found. Mr. Duncan had been in very poor health for more than two months and it is thought that his death was partially due to the effects of a severe attack of influenza which he suffered in February. Mr. Duncan had been a resident of New Market since 1916 when he went there from Camargo, this county with his sister, Mrs. Lavina Duncan, who preceded him to the grave about three years ago. He had been for more than 50 years a member of the Methodist Church. The deceased is survived by one brother, James Duncan of New Market; one sister, Mrs. Katie Moore and one half brother, Benjamin Ross of Spenceville, Cal. He also has a number of relatives in Kentucky. Funeral services for Mr. Duncan were held from the New Market Methodist Church last Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock. – kbz
