NOBLE CHRISTIAN MAN
PASSES AWAY AT MILNER
Mr. James Long Duncan, one of
the oldest and most beloved citizens
of Lamar county, died at his home at
Milner last Thursday night, Febru
ary 12th, after an illness which ex
tended over the past several years.
He had been failing fast during the
past two or three years and since j
Christmas took to his bed, from ,
which he was never able to get up.;
His death was not unexpected to'
those who had watched over and '
eared for him and to many friends
who had constantly inquired as to
his condition, but to all these and
to hosts of others his death brought
keen sorrow.
The funeral and burial took place
from the Baptist church at Milner
Saturday afternoon last, Rev. George
R. Blown, his pastor, preaching the
sermon, Rev. J. K. Drewry of Grif
fin, a former pastor, Mr. P. W. Eth
ridge and B. H. Hardy also partici
pating, all of them paying high trib-j
utes to the life and character of the
deceased, who was universally recog
nized and commended as one of the
best men who had ever lived in this
section of the country. He was con
spicuous in his devotion to his
church, for a long time being a mem
ber of the Milner Baptist church, to
the Centennial association, he being
in the constitution of the association
forty-one years ago, to the cause of
the Confederacy and to his family
and friends. He was a true, good
man, a loyal friend, an upright citi
zen, congenial and companionable,

When If* “AMERICAN” It’. Right.
I made friends easily and held them
throughout all the years of his noble,
useful life. In these respects, in the
possession of these virtues, he was
lan unusual, remarkable man, and
naturally exerted a strong and
wholesome influence. It was appro
priate that on the -asket in which
his body was borne to its last rest
ing place there stood out from
among the lovely floral offerings a
beautiful miniature Confederate
flag, for until his dying day he loved
the cause to which he gave four
years of his life during the Sixties.
He jvas no less true and faithful
during all the days since then as he
was always ready to do his share as
a man and citizen and by his life he
wrought well and has left a name
worthy of the highest emulation.
His loved ones and friends have
the tenderest sympathy of every
body throughout this county and sec
tion.
A friend has collaborated the foi
lowing facts of his life:
Born February 2(5, 1839; died
February 12, 1925, living 85 years,
11 months, 16 days. Converted
•when a boy, joined Hepsibah Baptist
church when a young man some
where about 19 years of age.
Married Miss Elizabeth Head,
daughter of R'ev. William Head, in
1859. Two daughters were born to
them, one dying in infancy. He and
his wife were in the constitution of
Rehobeth Baptist church, he being
ordained a deacon of the same. In
1873 they moved their membership
to Milner Baptist church and re
mained faithful members of the same
until their death, she dying April
14 th, 1905. Brother Duncan re
mained faithful to his church through
all her struggles to live and pay for
the present house of worship, giving
liberally of his means for support of
same. The present house was built
as ? community church for all de
nominations by Capt. White, then
president of the Central of Georgia
Railroad, but was bought by the Mil
ner Baptist church in 1872, they
moving their organization into same.
Brother Duncan was Superintend
ent of the Sunday s'-hool for more
than 30 years, and was hairman of
the Board of Deacons at his death.
He attended almost every session of
the Centennial association and was
a very active member of the same.
Brother Duncan’s only living
daughter married Dr. J. G. Martin,
September 2, 1877. To this union
were born eight children. Sister
Martin died May 15th, 1013. Brother
Duncan was the last one of the im
mediate family. He leaves one son
in-law, Dr. J. G. Martin; six grand
children, seven great grandchildren,
and one great-great grandchild, a
host of relatives and friends to mourn
his loss.
When the war between the States
was declared he entered the Confed
erate army as a member of “The
Spalding Greys,” then under the com
mand of his father-in-law. Major
William Head. After being sick
with the measles, mumps and other
diseases he was with the hospital
corps and followed the army through
several states, seeing active service
at Gettysburg, Fredericksburg, and
in the Wildnerness. He was with
Lee in the invasion of Pennsylvania.
He was under Stonewall Jackson till
his death, then with J. E. B. Stuart
till the close of the struggle.
His loss is felt by the entire town
and community, but more especially
by his family and church.

Mr. Orville Smith and a young

ly reaching home met a car on a nar

I notice the Barnesvilie Civitans
have offered a prize for the best sug
gestions on “W hat shall Barnesvilie
do now —what shall Barnesvilie and
Lamar county bring to pass?”
I think this is commendable in the
club, and if the suggestions are prac
ticable, I believe they should each
one be published for the benefit of
the public.
Mr. Banks Stephens of Forsyth a
few weeks ago offered a ten dollar
prize for the best letter on “What
is the matter with Monroe county,”
and I have been greatly amused at
the various letters published on that
vital question, and some are real in
teresting and the majority of the let
ters start off by saying, “There is
nothing the matter with Monroe
county,” but they merely lambast
the people.
Of course Lamar county is a grand
young county and Barnesville is a j
grand little city. But there are j

are knockers even in Barnesville and j

pity.” I don’t live in Barnesville, \
but I do live in Lamar county, and, |

I be surprised if I accidentally win
the club’s money?
