This was my great-uncle and the brother of Ernest (my grandfather), Agnew, Fannie, Effie, Myrtle, and Emer. He was the son of James G.A. (Jim) Duty and Littia Anna WHITLOCK Duty and the grandson of John R. Duty and Matilda Elizabeth BOYT Duty and of his maternal grandparents, George Washington Whitlock, Sr. and Martha Francis (Mattie) ROBERTSON Whitlock.
Uncle Jess was a farmer by occupation and was quite successful in that endeavor and well known in the Hornersville and Clarkton area of Missouri where he and Aunt Arevia made their home.
He and his wife, Arevia YORK Duty, had three daughters, Louise, Betty Sue, and Donna Lynn. He and Aunt Arevia, also, raised three of the four children (Hershel, Howard, and Freida Christine Jobe) of his sister and brother-in-law, Fanny DUTY Jobe and Mirl Jobe, following her death during the childbirth of their fourth child, a daughter, who lived only two months and five days.
Uncle Jess fought hard but lost his battle against lung cancer. His wife, daughter Donna Lynn, his parents, sister Fanny, and his brothers Ernest and Agnew preceded him in death.
He was survived by his second wife, daughters Louise and Betty, his grandchildren, many nieces and nephews, and a host of other family members and friends.
Great-uncle Jess was much loved and missed by all who knew him.
