Duncan, wife of Scott Duncan of this place, died suddenly Wednesday night at 11 o'clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs Ernest Trigg, near Jefferson, S. D., of heart failure. She was sitting on the edge of the bed talking to the members of the family, when without a moment's warning, she fell over and expired before medical aid could be summoned. She left here a week ago Monday in good spirits and feeling as well as ever, and had gone to near Jefferson, S D. where her two daughters, Mrs Chas Hall and Mrs. Ernest Triggs, reside on farms, with the intention of spending a couple of weeks in visiting her children, little thinking that the grim messenger of death was so near. Deceased was born at Richland, Io. in 1856, and came to this county with her parents, Joe McPherson and wife, in the spring of 1868, and had been a resident of this place since. She was married to Scott Duncan February 9, 1877, and was the mother of two daughters, whose names are mentioned above, and at whose homes she was visiting when the final summons came. She leaves besides her two daughters, a grief stricken husband who is bereft of all that he could call "home" -- a devoted wife and compassion. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the bereaved ones in this dark hour of sorrow. The remains will be brought to this place for burial Saturday afternoon in the Dakota City cemetery.
