W. G. B. Duncan
Wm. G. B. Duncan was born in Cherokee County, Ga. Feb. 26, 1844. Departed this life May 18, 1917.
He leaves a wife, four sons and five daughters, many relatives and friends to mourn his departure.
He professed faight in Christ early in life, and joined the Baptist Church at Salem in which he lived a consistent member until he was called away.
We cannot fathom divine wisdom nor understand why God allows sorrow to come to us.
But God who is too wise to err and too good to be unkind, knows just what is best and doeth all things well.
His well known hospitality and Christian life won for him many friends, who gathered at his home to mingle their tears of sympathy to extend a helping hand in this hour of sorrow and grief. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. E. Hudson. The body was laid to rest in Salem Cemetery.
[NOTE: His body was removed and reinterred in Blackwood Springs Cemetery, date unknown, but likely around the time his wife died and was buried at Blackwood Springs in 1928.]

In Loving Memory
On May 18th as the sun was sinking in the West the death angel came to our home, and bore the spirit of our dear grandfather W. G. B. duncan, from this world of pain and suffering, to one of rest and happiness.
Grandfather was afflicted quite a while with a dreadful cancer, but bore his suffering's with lot of patience, and oftimes in talking with us he would tell us that the end was near for him but he said it did not scare him for he was ready to go at any time.
He told us in his last hours he did not need any more medicine for he was going higher. Oh! what a glorius consolation to know that he is at rest but how sad and lonely our home is without grandpa. Oh! may we all live as to meet where there will be no more sorrow.
Farewell, dear grandpa but not for ever there will be a glorius dawn we shall meet to part no never. Oh! dear grandfather how we loved you but the angels loved you more they have called you home to rest over on yonder's shining shore.
