Wilcox Progressive Era, Thursday, September 20, 1906
Death of David H. Duke.
  The community was saddened last Saturday when the news reached Camden, that 
Mr. David H. Duke had died at Ackerville, as the result of a tragic accident 
while ginning cotton last Friday. In some way his clothing was caught in the 
gin and the poor man was horribly mangled and cut and he lived only in agony 
until death relieved him of his sufferings Friday night. Mr. Duke a few years 
since married Miss Price, in Ackerville and last year moved there. He was the 
second son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Duke of Camden, and his remains were brought 
here for interment in the Camden Cemetery. He was worthy, God fearing and 
honest, and to the sorrow stricken young widow and the family our heart felt 
condolences are offered. May the good Lord comfort them in their grief.
