H. S. Duncan Dies
H. S. Duncan, Sr., of Clearfield, twenty years ago well known over the county, was found dead in his bed Monday morning. The funeral took place yesterday and interment was made in the Catholic cemetery at Maloy. Mr. Duncan came from Louisa County many years ago and settled on the county line in Grant Township, where he engaged in farming and fine hog breeding. Several years since he retired from active life and moved to the vicinity of Clearfield. He was a veteran of the Civil war taking part in some of the bloodiest battles participated in by the western army. He took an active part in politics thirty years ago and at one time was the nominee of the democrats for state senator. He was well advanced in years, being upwards of seventy, and leaves a wife, three daughters, and several sons, including the well-known auctioneers. He was a man of kind intentions and has the respect of all. ---Blockton News.
