1880 "History of Clear Creek and Boulder Valleys, Colorado" by O.L. Baskin (from Kathy Cawley 4/2004 by email; MAD: 1860 Crawford Co. OH census)
Pg.506: DR. ARTHUR M. DUNCAN. Although Dr. Duncan may be termed a "newcomer" at Georgetown, yet he has become a permanent citizen of the place, is prominently identified with the medical profession, and we are glad to notice him in this work. The Doctor is by birth an Ohian. He was born Jan. 18, 1850, near Tifflin, in Seneca Co., Ohio. He was raised on a farm and received a practical education. He taught school for some time previous to entering his profession. In the fall of 1872, he started on an extensive trip, which he protracted a considerable time, through the West. After spending some months in Missouri and Kansas and "roughing" for a time in Colorado, he went to California, where he remained for nearly a year, and during the time taught a five-months' term of school. He was for a short time Deputy County Superintendent of Schools at Modesto, Cal. About the middle of June, 1874, he took a steamer and returned by way of the Isthmus of Panama to New York. The Doctor relates many interesting reminiscences of his travels through the West -- his experiences with the Indians, Mexicans, etc. After retuning to the East, he attended college one year, and then began the study of medicine. He took two courses of lectures at Columbus, Ohio, and subsequently went to New York and attended the Bellevue Hospital Medical College, where he graduated in 1878. He remained in New York some time afterward for the purpose of receiving instruction in special departments. In July, 1878, Dr. Duncan went to Albion, Mich., and continued successfully until the spring of 1880. In May following, he came to Colorado and located in Georgetown, and immediately began the practice of his profession. The Doctor has made many stanch (sp) friends at Georgetown, and is rapidly establishing a reputation, which will insure him an extensive and lucrative practice.
