I am looking at the Summers Co Cemetery book and the Summers co, WV Death records 1872-1890 and he is not listed in either of them. Perhaps you have the wrong info, either date or location.

Thank you for checking on Cornelius' death record. I wonder if he might have still been living in Buckingham Co., Va. and, perhaps, he was working in the Hinton area and was in an accident or got sick and died. He might be buried elsewhere. Do you know if there were any local newspapers at that time? I wonder if there might be mention of his death in the newspaper. What kind of work might he have been doing in that area? His brother, William Henry Duncan, followed the westward expansion of the railroad and settled in Alleghany Co., Virginia. Were there any railroads in Summers Co. at that time? Or perhaps he was working in the mines. Any other suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
