Mrs. Melinda J. DUNCAN, 96, widow of the late J.M. Duncan, was found

Webster county.  Her husband died twenty-five years ago.  She was a
member of the Church of Christ.  Mrs. Duncan was the mother of seven
children, only one of whom, Mrs. J.F. PORTER, of Dixon, the oldest,
who is seventy-seven years of age, is living.  The other children were
Dr. Roscoe Duncan, of Poole, Charlie, of Paducah, Dr. H.L. Duncan, of
Winchester, whose death came only a few months ago, Dr. Virgil Duncan,
of Mt. Sterling, and his twin, Victor Duncan, who at the time of his
death was publisher of the Dixon Journal, and Miss Mary Duncan, of
Dixon.  Surviving besides Mrs. Porter are two half-brothers, Elijah
SIGLER, of Clay, and Edward Sigler, of Huntington, W.Va.; eleven
grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.  Funeral services were
held at 2 p.m. Tuesday at Tapp Funeral Home in Dixon, with Robert
ADAMSON, of Poole, officiating.  Burial was in Oak Grove cemetery,
Dixon.

Note:  J.M. Duncan, 1847-1925, is buried next to his wife Linda J.
Duncan, 1853-1949, in Oak Grove Cemetery, Dixon.  Their daughter Mary
Duncan, 1892-1941, is buried next to them.  Webster County marriage
records show the marriage of James Duncan to Malinda Sigler on 7 March
1872.
