Pg.246-248: William Mark Duncan, one of the progressive business men of Eureka Springs, Ark., was born at Gettysburg, Pa., July 14, 1865, and is of Scotch-Irish extraction. His paternal ancestors came from Scotland about the middle of the eighteenth century, and some of the family have participated in every war in which the United States has ever been engaged. His father, William A. Duncan was born in Adams county, Pa., February 2, 1836. He graduated from Franklin and Marshall college in 1857, and in 1860 was admitted to the bar. After serving as district attorney and in the Pennsylvania state senate, he was elected to congress in 1882 and re-elected in 1884. He did not live to complete his second term, his death occurring on November 14, 1884. He was a lawyer of fine ability and as a congressman would have made an enviable record had he lived. In 1863 he was married to Miss Catherine Schmucker, the daughter of Rev. Samuel S. Schmucker, founder and president until his death, of the Theological seminary at Gettysburg. To this marriage were born four sons, of whom the second is the subject of this sketch. William M. Duncan was educated in the private schools of Gettysburg, and in 1883 graduated from Pennsylvania college, in his native city, the youngest man in his class. From the time he left college he was his father's private secretary in congress, and after the death of his father became the private secretary of his successor. He remained in this position until 1887, when he resigned and came to Harrison, Ark., where he organized the Bank of Harrison. He conducted this bank for about two years, then disposed of his interests, came to Eureka Springs and bought a controlling interest in the Citizens' Bank, of which he is now the president. This bank is capitalized at twenty-five thousand dollars, has a surplus of more than ten thousand dollars, and deposits amounting to over one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. In 1889, Mr. Duncan consolidated all the different electric companies into the Citizens' Electric Company, which now controls and operates all the light and power interests of Eureka Springs. He is also president of the Syndicate Company which controls most of the centrally located property of the city, as well as large plantation holdings, timber and mining lands. It has made some of the largest deals in mining property in the zinc and lead fields of Northwestern Arkansas, among them the Red Cloud and McIntosh mines. The company now has under construction a large six story hotel building which will be the finest at the Springs when it is completed. Quite a number of the most progressive business interests in (Eureka Springs are due to the enterprising spirit of Mr. Duncan. He is a member and president of the Commercial club and is identified with almost every movement having for its object the betterment of the business and social conditions of the city. As he is now but little past thirty-five years of age he is just approaching that period in life where a man does his best work and it is quite probable that the field of his operations will be enlarged before he passes his fiftieth milestone on life's highway.
