I found this article online at the Winfield, Cowley County, Kansas web site. I though some of you might enjoy reading it. As it turned out Robert Duncan Jr. is the son of my great uncle. I am now in touch with the son of William Duncan (Junior Duncan's older brother) who is really into genealogy & we are exchanging info. Thanks to all you kind folks who sent me information.
