Obituary, undated, newspaper name unknown, for Joseph Dillard Duncan; probably Dec. 1905, probably Bowling Green, Warren Co. KY (from Walter Massengale 6/1995, with permission to share)
WBM: This obituary was taken from a newpaper clipping in my posession which does not show the date published nor the identify of the newpaper in which it was published. MAD: Joseph Dillard Duncan, b. 21 Nov. 1814, d. 5 Dec. 1905, wife Jane Covington, from other records, son of Edmund Duncan and Harriet Ann Dulaney who was son of Charles Duncan and Elizabeth Dillard.
DEATH COMES PEACEFULLY
To 'Squire J. Dillard Duncan This Morning. Near Rockfield, At Home of his Son; Was one of the County's oldest and best beloved Citizens. Past Ninety-One Years.
Squire Joseph Dillard Duncan died this morning at 11 o'clock at the home of his son, Mr. W.D. Duncan, near Rockfield. Uncle Dillard, as he was familiarly and affectionately known, had been bedridden for quite awhile, and gradually growing weaker, and his death was not unexpected. He died from general debility brought on by his extreme age, being at the time of his death 91 years and sixteen days old.
Mr. Duncan was born in Culpeper County, Va. on November 21st, 1814, and with his parents moved to Kentucky when he was a child about two years of age. His parents settled on Clear Fork creek in this county and there Mr. Duncan grew to manhood, where he lived all his life with the exception of a few years in this city, and there he died. His wife was Miss Jane Covington who preceded him to the grave several years since. They were married in the Rockfield vicinity and went on a bridal trip to Marshall, Ill., on horseback.
He is survived by four sons, Dr. E.M. Duncan, of Marshall, Ill.; Henry F. Duncan of Louisville; W.D. Duncan of Rockfield, and S.B. Duncan, of this city. Two daughters, now dead, were Mrs. Underwood, wife of former Lieutenant Governor Jno. C. Underwood, and Mrs. E.L. Hines. He leaves besides the immediate members of his family a number of relatives who are among the most prominent and substantial people of the city and county. It is not putting it too strongly to say that there never lived in Warren County a man who exceeded him in popularity or who had a firmer hold upon the esteem of our people generally. He was in deed and in truth, one of nature's noblemen. He was a man of the kindest disposition, of generous impulses, lofty aspirations and of the most spotless integrity of character. He loved his friends and dispensed among them a lavish hospitatility and was never happier than when entertaining them around his fireside and at his board. He was for a number of years a member of the County Fiscal Court, a member of the city council and in all his relations of life, public and private, he was the same genial, warm-hearted, loveable man, the same public-spirited, upright and honorable citizen. He had been a member of the Baptist church for years and died as he had lived, a faithful and earnest Christian.
Though he had lived long past man's alloted time, he will be deeply mourned throughout the entire country and if every person "who knew and loved him could come to his grave and cast on it a leaf, he would sleep beneath a wilderness of flowers."
The funeral arrangements have not yet been made, but will await the arrival of relatives from a distance.
Letter dated June 5, 1882 Bowling Green, Ky, from Mollie Holson to Hallie Carpenter (typed transcript below from Kenneth Smith 1/12/2016; on 1/27/2016 he requested the text be added to my webpage; he has the original letter and more original letters; Henrietta M.

Pg.130: Joseph Duncan & wife vs. Smith Hunt & Thos. Hunt, heirs of Uriah Hunt, Chancery Court, 2nd Div. of E.TN; Joseph Duncan of wife Rhoda formerly Rhoda Hunt of Blount Co. TN but formerly of Washington Co. TN; that some years ago Uriah Hunt father of Rhoda died leaving a paper intended to be his will, the paper not having been tested as law requires, it was not good, several distributees by bond among themselves agreed to distribute the estate as their ancestor wanted in the defective will; Smith Hunt and Thomas Hunt, two sons, administered the estate; Orators were to be allowed a tract of land or enough money to buy it, and the heirs agreed that orators should have $600 out of the first moneys collected; Smith and Thomas Hunt about 1824 returned an inventory of personal estate, sale brought in money, more than 5 years ago; orators were not paid their share but were told to buy land in Blount Co. and Hunts would pay for it, but then refused to lend him aid in the payment; that 2 or 3 years ago Thomas and Smith Hunt filed a bill against orator "Samuel" Duncan in Chancery Court of Greenville regarding the land their ancestor purchased from Joseph Duncan, but there was no equity in the land; Duncans paid the costs, Hunts still have not paid orators their share; The heirs and distributees are: Thomas Hunt, Smith Hunt, Uriah Hunt, Benjamin Hunt, Peter Hunt and Delila his wife formerly Delila Hunt, Richard Martin and Acksey his wife formerly Acksey Hunt, Payne Squibb and Dyce his wife formerly Dyce Hunt, Jesse Hunt, and James Duncan and Sarah his wife formerly Sarah Hunt, and orator and oratrix, the oratrix is one of the daughters of Uriah Hunt; Smith Hunt resides in Washington Co. and Thomas Hunt in Greene Co.; filed 25 Oct. 1831.
Answer: Thomas and Smith Hunt said the heirs agreed to offer complainant Rhody Duncan as much of a tract of land formerly owned by their decd. brother William Hunt to the value of $600; Rhoda was willing but Joseph Duncan objected; Joseph Duncan purchased about 160 acres of land in Blount Co. from Andrew Duncan for $600, $400 to be paid in cash and $200 in trade; that Smith and Thomas paid $400 part to Andrew and part to Thomas, and then Joseph satisfied the $200 in trade; that title was made jointly to Joseph and Rhoda Duncan for life and then to their children, but Joseph wanted it to himself absolutely; that $400 each would have been a fair share to each heir, but the heirs allowed Joseph $600 due to his straightened circumstances; Joseph would not take a share of the inventory sale in stock, etc., but wanted cash; that about 1812 the complt. Joseph sold Uriah Hunt land in Washington Co. for $140 but Hunt did not get possession as Jane Duncan, mother of complt. Joseph, had a life estate in the tract; the part sold Uriah was an undivided share; that after Uriah died, Joseph sold it to Jacob Roblen? for $200? ($300?) which made the other heirs of Uriah file a bill in Chancery against Joseph and said Roblen; after filing, the compt. agreed to pay $140 and costs of $50; Uriah's widow is still living; the Hunts were willing to give Duncan his full share of the estate all along but he refused.

Cataloged under Civil War, 1861-1865, pensions, indexes; does not say if Confederate or Federal, but probably Federal. Negative film, some cards much too faint or dark to read, some cards blurred or faded, particularly the service unit and the dates of application. Most of the very faint or dark cards were in a slightly different format, with space for years enlisted and discharged which were sometimes filled in. Many of these were for service in later years, although one or two were for service ca 1866.
Name of soldier, alias, name of dependent widow or minor, service (military unit or units), date of filing, class (invalid or widow or minor or other), Application #, Certificate #, state from which filed (sometimes blank), attorney (sometimes blank, MAD: did not usually copy), remarks. Sometimes the "Invalid" or "Widow" class had an "s" added to it before the application #; occasionally the area for the service information included a circled "S". The minor's name was frequently that of the guardian rather than the minor.
The military unit was frequently the Company Letter, the Regiment Number, sometimes US Vet Vol Inf. (US Veteran Volunteer Infantry), L.A. (Light Artillery), H.A. (Heavy Artillery), US C Inf (US Colored? Infantry), Cav. (Cavalry), Mil. Guards, V.R.C. (?Volunteer Reserve Corps?), etc. Sometimes there were several service units given.
Cards appear to be arranged by the last name, first name, middle initial if any, and state (including "US") of service.
