ROY DUNCAN IS DEAD
Roy Duncan died Thursday afternoon November 7, at 4;15 p.m., at Camp Hancock, near Augusta, Georgia, where he had been stationed for some time in the military service of our country.
A message came Wednesday to his brother, H.H. Duncan, stating that he was seriously ill. Mr. Duncan was at the station Friday morning ready to leave for Georgia, where a second message came stating that Roy had died.
Deceased was a son of R.T. Duncan and wife, pioneer settlers and prominent residents of this city, both of who have passed into this great beyond. He was 28 years of age and was a member of the Methodist church and the order of the Knights of Pythias and W.OW.
Roy was born in Alvarado and grew to manhood here where he was known by every resident in the town. He was a splendid young man in every sense of the word. His big, generous heart, and his jovial nature made a friend the instant he came in contact with anyone. His principals were high and unimpeachable and in business his integrity and close application were noticeable to all. In his death our city and community sustained a distinct loss. He has made the supreme sacrifice in the full line of duty and his name will go down along with those of other heroes who have "gone west" so that right and freedom might prevail for mankind. All honor to them.
The body, accompanied by a military escort, arrived in Alvarado Tuesday night and was taken to Roy's former home with Mr. and Mrs. Herman Duncan where funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. W.E. Ryan. The service was a splendid one and Rev. Ashburn paid a touching tribute to the fine character and good life of this young man.
Roy was friend and it is one of the great inexplicable walks of men in the full strength of youth and life when it holds so many promises and so much to be desired.
In his death, The Bulletin feels a personal and distinct loss and we morn with friends of the deceased and of his family in extending an expression of our deep and sincere condolences in their time of sad bereavement.
Peace and honor to his memory
