PIONEER CITIZEN DIES AT 93 YEARS
At the home of his son, Delmar Duke, in Clayton, Monday January 4, [1926] Mr. Jack Duke passed away at the age of 93 years and 3 months. Funeral services were held Tuesday at 2 P. M. by Rev. Egbert Jimerson, pastor of the Free Will Baptist Church, of which Mr. Duke had for fifty years been a member. The remains were laid to rest in the Clayton Cemetery.
Mr. Duke is survived by his companion of many long years, three daughters, Mrs. Dan Duke and Mrs. W. T. Wall of Carthage and Mrs. T. D. Ross of Clayton, and two sons Delmar Duke and Willie Duke of Clayton. To these we express our sympathy. Our hearts will ever reverence the memory of the pioneer men and women, who bore the hardships of early settlers that we might enjoy present conditions. Mr. Duke's life will stand out through the coming years as a guide for the living of his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and his friends. May our lives prove worthy of such examples.
