Obituary - Mrs. Duncan
Almira Frances Banie, daughter of James W. and Dorinda (Beardsley) Banie, was born June 8, 1865, at Newark, O. When 7 years of age, she came with her parents in a covered wagon to a small town near Peoria, Ill., where they lived for a year. Then they came to Missouri, ferrying across the Mississippi river and settled on a farm 3 miles east of Albany.
Here the family lived for considerable time and Mrs. Duncan and her brothers and sisters attended the Crab Orchard school.
She was united in marriage on Sept. 3, 1884, with Frank Wood Duncan, of Albany, and they resided on a farm 6 miles east of Albany for 47 years. During this period of time, seven children blessed their home, namely, Luva Duncan, who died at the age of 2 years; Earle C. Duncan, now of Columbus, Ohio; Mrs. Avnes Murray, of Independence: Mrs. Wave Cook, of Borger, Tex.; Mrs. Lucile King, of Albany; F. Wilbur Duncan, who gave his life in World War I; and Miss Edith Duncan, of New Hampton.
Because of Mr. Duncan's failing health, they decided to leave the farm and in March, 1931, they moved to New Hampton. On Sept. 3, 1934, they quietly observed their 50th wedding anniversary, although Mr. Duncan was confined to his bed. Mr. Duncan passed away on Sept. 28, 1934.
Since that time, Mrs. Duncan and daughter, Edith, have maintained the home until death claimed Mrs. Duncan Sunday, March 16, 1952, at the age of 86 years, 9 months and 8 days, following a long illness.
She is survived by four daughters and one son, named above; also five grandchildren, Rev. Herbert J. Murray of Pittsfield, Mass.; Helen J. Murray of Independence, Mo.; John C. Cook, of Borger, Tex.; Evelyn F. King, Grace, and her husband, E. Merwyn Grace, of Gower, Mo.; and a sister, Mrs. Viola Thompson, of Albany; and two brothers, J.M. (Mick) Banie, of Sedgwick, Kan.; and George W. Banie, of Oklahoma City, Okla. Besides these, there are many nieces and nephews and a host of friends and neighbors.
Mrs. Duncan made her confession of faith in early childhood and has lived a devoted Christian life being a member of the Christian church at New Hampton.
She loved her church and her home, and was truly a devoted mother and homemaker. Her family and relatives, as well as her friends and neighbors, were a source of great pleasure and enjoyment, giving her strength and comfort, especially during her illness. Often when they were so thoughtful and kind, remembering her with letters, cards, gifts, flowers, etc., she would remark, "How wonderful everyone has been and how much they mean to me." Truly her life was greatly enriched by these friendly deeds.
Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon, March 18, at 2 o'clock at the Christian church in New Hampton, conducted by Rev. O.D. Hedges, pastor, assisted by Rev. Elmer Evans. Music was furnished by Mrs. O.D. Hedges, Billy George Noble, Miss Helen Kinder and Fred Stewart, with Mrs. Ed Beeler as pianist. Interment was at the Grandview cemetery in Albany, under the direction of W.G. Noble & Son, of New Hampton.
Tribute to Mother.
Years have come and passed us by,
Roses bloomed, to fade and die,
But childhood scenes, memories dear,
A happy home with Mother here,
When we were little children at play,
Thrilled with raptures which none can sway
As we look back through the years that have flown,
To the sweetest days that were ever known,
It was Mother's words and radiant smile,
That ever taught us things worth while.
Often we have seen the tear-drop trace,
The careworn lines upon her face,
As she would to her bosom press
Those she loved in fond caress.
From God's Own wireless in heaven above
Comes down today that old sweet love,
Broadcast through the ethereal blue
By the purest spirit we ever knew.
From babyhood to locks turned gray,
She watched our footsteps all the way;
Although she has crossed the cold, dark wave,
We'll ne'er forget the love she gave.
For never o'er all life's rugged road
Did she ever cease to bear her load.
And never till our dying hour
Shall we fail to feel her power.
We'll not forget the tender care
Shown to us while she was here;
Spared to be with us through many years,
Sharing our joy, our sorrow and tears.
Then she fell asleep in the blessed sleep
"From which none ever wakes to weep."
God take tender care of her above;
Keep us ever in Thy power of love.
