Thank you! Did you ever hear anything about Carl Duncan too? I am pasting other articles which mention Carl Duncan, and were originally transcribed by Kathy (thanks Kathy)! 16 June 1911--ALEXANDER-HIGDON--Mr. W. H. Alexander of the Yates vicinity, and Miss Sallie Higdon of Roanoke, were married at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Higdon, on Thursday, June 15, 1911, Rev. John Ward, of Independence, officiating. Mr. and Mrs. Alexander left on the afternoon train for San Francisco and other points in the West. They were accompanied by Carl Duncan, of this place, nephew of the groom, and will be gone about sixty days. The NEWS joins other friends in congratulations and best wishes. (Note by David Brown: Rev. John Ward was the husband of Beulah Pearl (Stark) Ward, daughter of William Howell Stark and Bettie (Alexander) Stark. Aunt Pearl Stark and John Ward met while students at Missouri Valley College) Friday, 29 Aug 1913--Carl Duncan informs us that his cousin, John Kirkpatrick, formerly of the Yates vicinity but now of Huntsville, who went West several months ago for his health returned home Tuesday, having given up all hope of recovery. This will be sad news, indeed, to the young man's many friends in this part of the county. (Note by David Brown: John McKee Kirkpatrick did pass away in 1913. He was the son of John Kirkpatrick and Kate (Alexander) Kirkpatrick. Kate (Alexander) Kirkpatrick was a daugther of John Alexander by his second marriage to Charity Denny) Friday, 2 May 1919, Vol 33. No 2--Carl Duncan who recently returned from overseas, and who passed through last week for Camp Funston, returned from the latter place Saturday night, having received his discharge. He is looking and feeling fine, and is about twenty pounds heavier than when he entered the army. As Carl, who is a deep student and a born teacher, was principal of the Higbee High School previous to his enlistment and had the pupils on their toes at all times and deeply interested in their studies, many have expressed the hope that he can be persuaded to accept the superintendency for the coming year, and we heartily second the motion, for he is just the man for the place. We doubt, however, if his services can be secured, as he is planning, we learn, to attend school in the East. Friday, 2 May 1919, Vol 33. No 2--Carl Duncan who, several weeks previous to leaving France was furloughed to the reserve corps for a period of five years with rank of second lieutenant, received his commission yesterday. It bore date of Feb. 1, 1919, and had followed him all over France, then to Camp Funston and from there to Higbee. he will not be liable for service within the time unless the country should go to war. Friday, 28 Mar 1919, Vol 32. No 49--R. G. Duncan, we learn, received a letter this week from his son Carl, informing him that he would sail for the good old USA on March 10, and if he was not detained beyond that date he would be at home in a short time.

Duncan had stores at Higbee and Yates at different times, as I believe I've read, and he and his wife are buried in the Higbee cemetery. ==== MORANDOL Mailing List ==== Questions for the List Administrator?
