LATE MRS. DUNCAN-On Sunday evening Mrs. Helen Duncan, relict of the late Sheriff George J. Duncan, died at her home in Welland. Deceased had not been in the best of health for many years, and since the death of her husband ten years ago had lived a very retired life. Her last illness, however, was of short duration, death from pneumonia following after an illness of almost ten days. Deceased was a daughter of the late George Biggar of Elora, Ont., and was married to Mr. Duncan in 1861. Two sons-George W. Duncan of Toronto, and Alfred Duncan of New York city-survive to mourn the death of a loving and devoted Christian mother, Miss Nellie Oliver, niece of deceased, was a constant and faithful attendant at the bedside of her aunt, with whom she had lived since childhood, and to her, too, the death is indeed a deep affliction. The remains were buried beside those of her husband in the family plot, Drummond Hill, Niagara Falls South, on Wednesday. Rev. F. McCuaig of the Presbyterian church (of which deceased was a member), conducted service at the house here and accompanied the body on the 9 o’clock G.T.R. train to the place of interment, where Rev. Mr. Wilson assisted in the brief burial service. Beautiful flowers rested on the casket, as tokens of love and sympathy from those near to her. Mrs. Duncan had been a member of Welland Home Circle for about twelve years, and her heirs will receive $2,000 from that noble order. The friends who mourn are consoled by the assurance that the departed one is enjoying that blessed relief promised for those who die in the Lord.
