Pg.216-7: Clay Co. IL, Bible Grove Township. W.W. DUNCAN, physician, Bible Grove. Among the men who owe their success in life to their own energy and ability stands him whose name appears at the head of this sketch. He was born, December 10, 1829, in Nelson Co. KY. He is a son of James Duncan, a native of SC, and a farmer by occupation. The grandfather of our subject was William Duncan. He was a native of VA, of Scotch descent. The mother of our subject was Editha (McKay) Duncan, a native of Nelson Co. KY. Dr. Duncan was married, November 28, 1860, in Mason, Effingham Co. IL, to Miss Mary Ella White, born March 18, 1841, in Bond Co. IL. She is a daughter of William and Agnes (Johnson) White. He is a native of NC and she of TN. Four children are the result of this happy union, viz, William C., born January 31, 1863; Anna J., August 2, 1868; Mary Edith, February 19, 1871; and Charles Ed, June 23, 1877. Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Duncan are religiously connected with the Baptist Church. The Doctor received his medical education in Louisville, KY, but is mainly self-educated. On October 30, 1861, Dr. Duncan settled in Georgetown, where he follows his noble profession, he having practiced over two years in KY and three years near Mason, Effingham Co. IL, previous to his coming here. He does not shun his work, and is one of that kind of physicians who ride themselves into a lucrative practice.
