Fatal Accident to Mr. J. C. Duncan
Considerable excitement mingled with a deep touch of sympathy was created here late Monday afternoon, when the news of the death of Mr. John C. Duncan fell upon the ears of the citizens.
It came to unexpectedly to them and everyone was eager to know particulars of the sad occurrence.
In quite good health yet with the frost of years resting upon his manly brow, Mr. Duncan was snatched from the scenes of his earthly home, family, relatives and friends, who mourn his untimely death.
When he and his young son, Wert, left their beautiful country residence Monday, shortly after the noon hour in a wagon, to go over to a neighbor's a mile or so distant for the loan of a scraper with which to do some repairing to the road, little was it thought he would be brought back to his home with life rapidly leaving the body.
It was on their return from the neighbor's that the fatal accident happened on the pike after coming from a by-road.
Mr. Duncan was seated by side of his son in the wagon. The team consisted of a horse and a spirited colt, the latter animal was being broke. Mr. Duncan was guiding the colt by aid of a line, the team being hitched in harness and driven by the son, when suddenly the refractory young animal lunged forward jerking Mr. Duncan from his position who was caught in a wheel in such a manner as to crush his side and fracture his skull.
He was aged seventy-three years.
The funeral services were held at the home 1 o'clock P.M. Thursday and was very largely attended. Interment in Greenfield Cemetery.

Obituary
Died at his residence near Greenfield, O., October 4, 1896, John Campbell Duncan in the 75th year of age.
His grandfather, Robert Duncan, was of Scotch birth and emigrated to America in early life and settled in York County, Pa.
His maternal grandfather, James Mann, emigrated to this country from Ireland in 1800.
His parents were Robert and Mary Mann Duncan. His father was born in York Co., Pa., and came to Ohio in 1806, where he purchased the farm on which the subject of this memoir was born and died.
The latter was born March 4, 1822.
He was the third in a family of ten children, four of whom are now living: Robert, the eldest of the family, in Sidney, Iowa, Mrs. Esther Ann Webb of Almena, Ka., Mrs. Martin McClure of Hillsboro, Ohio, and Mrs. Joseph Irwin of Greenfield, O.
In the 12th of October 1847, he married Catherine Elizabeth Lunbeck, who survives him, with six sons and three daughters, all of whom were present at the obsequies of the deceased.
It is remarkable that this is the first death in the family.
He united with the First Presbyterian Church of Greenfield, June 4, 1848.
He was ordained Deacon October 7, 1865, which office he filled with great fidelity until September 23, 1888, when he was ordained Elder.
This office was filled with characteristic conscientiousness during the remainder of his days.
He was a good neighbor, a kind husband, an indulgent father, a patriotic and public spirited citizen and spiritually minded, earnest and enthusiastic follower of the Lord Jesus Christ.
As a friend, he was magnanimous, reliable and stable.
He will long be remembered for his affable kind and sympathetic disposition.
His long and useful life was brought to what seems to us an untimely close.
He was thrown from a wagon and received fatal injuries about two miles from his home to which he was conveyed and where he died, in the midst of his family about 4:00 P.M. and about an hour and a half after the injuries were received.
His life was such as to leave the comforting conviction that he was prepared to meet his God.
