Mr. Duncan came to Alexandria in the summer of 1877.
His wife and two eldest children came the same year on November 26th. He leaves as a legacy to the society in which he lived, one son, Andrew Dick, one daughter, Mrs. Jesse Woltemath; 13 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends who characterize him as always jolly and ready to laugh when laughter was the order of the day.
In his younger years he was a jeweler by trade, but practiced also as a veterinary until his health failed.
He was always ready to do a kind deed, or give information if asked.
Mr. Duncan left behind him an honorable name and record, which is a legacy more valuable to his family than either wealth or fame.
