The sudden death of Mr. Darling Duke, last Monday morning caused much surpise in this section. He complained sometime after supper Sunday night of "heartburn", but at three o'clock that night he was feeling very well. Failing to get up as early as usual that moring, his family decided to permit him to rest until breakfast. When that had been made ready, Mrs. Duke went to arouse him, and to her great surprise discovered that he was dead. Mr. Duke was about sixty-five years old and had possessed a strong constitution. He has resided in this section a long time, and was an industrious thoroughgoing and worthy citizen, who had the confidence and esteem of those who knew him.
