Princeton Clarion, Princeton, Gibson Co., Indiana, Thursday, Sept. 20, 1866:
Died - At the house of his mother, near Princeton, Sept. 4th, GILBERT M. DUNCAN, in his twenty-fourth year. The deceased was born in Princeton, Nov. 18th, 1842. In the summer of 1861 he enlisted in Capt. Henderson's company, subsequently commanded by Capts. Polk and Fleming -- the second company that went from Gibson county to help to put down the rebellion, and which formed part of the 33d Indiana Regiment. In all the movements of his company he was ever at his post, ready for his duty. In March, 1864, he re-enlisted as a veteran, and was with Sherman in his "March to the Sea." With his company and regiment in the various battles in which they were engaged, knowing no fear and shrinking from no duty, he yet escaped without a wound. On the 21st day of July, 1865, at Louisville, Ky., he was mustered out of service. A little over a year had passed, and he who escaped when danger seemed so high, for nearly four years, has died in his bed, stricken down with disease, in his early manhood. "After life's fitful fever he sleeps well." His friends will cherish his memory, and his country will not forget him.
