Death Of  Lt. Duncan E. McNair
The Standard of Raleigh, Oct. 1, 1862
            DEATH OF LT. DUNCAN E.  MCNAIR
   The telegraph on Wednesday last brought the mournful intelligence of the 
fall of this noble young man and excellent officer, in the Battle of 
Sharpsburg on Wednesday. LT. MCNAIR was a native of Robeson County, graduated 
at our University, and at the time  the war broke out, was an Engineer on the 
Wilmington and Rutherford Railroad.  He was happily married about two and a 
half years ago to a most excellent lady of this City. 
   Severely, indeed, has the blow fallen on his doting wife and friends who 
mourn their sad bereavement.

Additional Comments:
Lieutenant Duncan E.  McNair enlisted as a 1st Lieutenant in Company C., 14th 
Infantry Regiment, North Carolina on Oct. 18, 1861. He transferred into the 
3rd Infantry Regiment on the same day.  He was killed on Sept. 17, 1862 at 
Sharpsburg, Md., according to American Civil War Soldiers.
