General Duncan’s Death Marks Army’s Longest Living Record
General Joseph W. Duncan of the United States Army, born in Texas in 1853, died at Fort Sam Houston. He served 40 years beyond entering as a youth, never on the sick list, and distinguished himself from Cuba to the Philippines. Panama election fears prompt U.S. supervision discussion, with the Tenth Infantry likely deployed to Panama for registration and voting day. Mount Vernon regents report rising pilgrim visits, relics received, and preservation efforts amid Virginia Governor Mann’s tour.
