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.

(Part 2) Pg.1414-1415: JOHN DUNCAN. By no means an unappreciated member of the agricultural class, John Duncan is intelligently engaged in the cultivation of his farm of 136 acres, located one mile north of Shedds, Linn county, a general line of farming connected with stock-raising and dairying being his principal occupation. This farm was once a part of the old Hogue estate, and a portion of it constituted school lands, and was first occupied by Mr. Duncan in 1877, since which time he has made all the improvements which have made this one of the most valuable farms in this part of the county.
Mr. Duncan was born April 13, 1845, in Cole county, Mo., the son of Jubal and Elizabeth (Mercersmith) Duncan, natives respectively of Kentucky and Virginia. The father had removed with his parents to Missouri when a mere boy, and had remained at home until his marriage. Two years after his death, which occurred when John was only four years old, Mrs. Duncan became the wife of John Isom, a native of Virginia, with whom she lived in Missouri until 1853. At that date they outfitted with ox-teams and at the close of a six-months journey, mercifully devoid of trouble with the marauding Indians, they found themselves in Linn county, Ore., eager and ready to make a home in the then wild country. Mr. Isom at once bought the squatter's right to a claim of 320 acres six miles east of Shedds, on which he proved up and began the improvement necessary to make the farm of service to him. This remained the home of the family until 1878, when they removed to Albany, where Mr. Isom had become interested in industrial lines through his purchase of the Red Crown mills located in that city. Until his retirement several years later he conducted these mills, after which he made his home with his children. He lived to be seventy-five years old, becoming one of the popular men of the times ... Democrat, county commissioner one term and justice of the peace several years. His wife still survives him and now makes her home with Mrs. Scott Ward, a daughter. Mrs. Isom was the mother of three children by her first marriage, the only son now living being John Duncan of this review. The eldest daughter, Mrs. Sarah M. Cleek, lives in Albany. The children of the last marriage are as follows: Frances Ann, now Mrs. Ward, of Albany; Mary C., now Mrs. Skinner, of Albany; Chynthia C. Ward, of Albany; Alice, now Mrs. Pfeiffer, of Albany; David I., located on Muddy creek; Virginia L., now Mrs. Lanning, of Tacoma, Wash.; Jefferson D., on the old claim; John, of Dawson City; and Elizabeth, now Mrs. Woods, a resident of California.
The education of John Duncan was received through the medium of the district school in the neighborhood of his home in Oregon, where he remained until he had reached his 21st year. He then ... eastern Oregon following mining and prospecting for about a year, when he engaged in the stock business there. For three years he continued in that location, ... returned to Linn county, in 1872 engaging in farming here. Five years later he entered upon the property before mentioned, ...
The marriage of Mr. Duncan occurred in 1877, and united him with Miss Mary Farwell, who was born in 1854 on her father's old donation claim. (A sketch of her family is found on another page of this work. - MAD: not copied) The young people went to housekeeping where they now make their home. They have been blessed with the birth of six children, all of whom are living and are named in order of birth as follows: Francis R., of Plainview, married Miss Fannie Rooker in 1902; John E., of Seattle, Wash.; Philip L., of Seattle; Charles C.; Lulu E. and Ray H., the three last named still making their home with their parents. A Democrat, road supervisor, school director, member of the Grange and officiates in the same as treasurer.
