His tombstone reads "An honest man is the noblest work of God."
Obituary on front page of The Cherokee Advance, April 23, 1915 - " OLDEST MAN IN COUNTY -- An Aged Citizen Of Cherokee Stricken With Paralysis -- Uncle Berry Duncan, perhaps Cherokee's most aged citizen, was stricken with paralysis Monday night of this week. He was in his 95th year and attended Sunday School at the First Baptist Church last Sunday. Supt. R. T. Jones called attention to his presence, asking Uncle Berry to stand. He rose, spoke a few words, thanking God for his goodness to him, closing his remarks by waving his hand over the large audience saying ‘I like such as this and want to be in it to the end'. He passed away early Wednesday morning ripe and ready for the rest that remaineth for one so long in service. Last Sunday in Sunday School on earth, next Sunday at the feet of the great teacher in glory."
