    1. Very old Ducker Grave Discovered
    2. K Haddad
    3. I am passing on to you a finding of a Ducker Cemetery in Pendleton Co. She found a tombstone while taking some Webelos on a hike. She's been back several times trying to uncover other graves. Seems like some people in Pendleton Co. would like to take some interest in this. I live in Canada; she found me on the internet. Can someone contact the Historical Society, a Ducker genealogist, the library, or someone who could help Kitty? Also the newspaper may be ineterested. I will continue to update you on this historical find.
