  Mrs. Duck is survived by living descendants as follows: three daughters, two 
sons, twenty-four grandchildren, thirty-seven great-grandchildren and one 
great-great-grandchild. 

  The last named is an infant, Pearl Holland, Chicago.  She is a daughter of 
J. Quincy Holland, a great-grandson of the deceased. 

  The children are Mrs. Margaret Holland, of Suffolk; Mrs. Virginia Frances 
Eure, of Gates County, N.C.; Mrs. Martha Outland, of Dales, Va.; J. Timothy 
Duck of Elwood, Va., and Claude H. Duck of Franklin. 

  Among the well-known grandchildren are Hon. William S. Holland, an attorney 
of Windsor, Va., and Hon. J. Peter Holand, a politician and financier, of 
Franklin, Va. 

  She also leaves a half-sister, Mrs. Nancy Lankford, of Isle of Wight County, 
who is in her 89th year and in good health. 

  One of the deceased's sons, J.H. Duck, was a Confederate soldier of Co. F,
