C. Duncan.Marcus Cullen Duncan wng born near Pine, of this parish, December, 18, 1871. lie spent the early years of his life near thaplace of his birth, with very little advantages in the matter of training.

He believed in clean society, in good schools, in progressive churches and to any of these causes he willingly lent a helping hand.For sometime he had been a member of the parish school board in which capacity he served with zeal and intelligence.On the evening of Thursday, the 22nd day of August, while attending to his gin at Hack ley, his right arm became entangled in the machinery of the gin-head and was so lacerated that alter the arrival of the physician, it was found necessary that he be removed to the hospital in Bo-galusa. Ou his arrival there,the lacerated arm was amputated, but the great loss of blood and worry of the long trip from Hachley toBogalusa had so weakened him that he failed to revive from the effects of the anesthetic and shortly after midnight he passed out of this life. His body was buried near the home of his brother, John Duncan, on Saturday morning with Masonic ceremonies, followed by the funeral which was conducted by Rev. Wallace.Mr. Duncan was a staunch friend, an honest business man, a devoted husband, a loving husband, and a model citizen. He passed out of this world, mourned, not only by his family and relatives by a host of admiring and trusting friends.J.E.
