From his obituary:
"Mr Duncan was of a retiring disposition and never sought public office of any kind, preferring the quiet of his own home. He was of a robust constitution, and even until not long ago he thought nothing of a tramp out to the farm and spending the day busily working about because he loved to work."

?b?Obit. - James Duncan?/b?
One of the very few remaining links between the past generation and the present was removed this (Thursday) morning when Mr. James Duncan was called away from the surroundings in which he had spent so long a life. The late Mr. Duncan was born on the homestead in Ramsay, now occupied by his youngest son, Mr Ed Duncan, His whole life was spent there until a little over five years ago, when he removed to Almonte, to spend with Mrs. Duncan in the declining years of their lives in the comfortable home he had provided. On March 25, 1854, he was married to Elizabeth Lockhart, who was born in Scotland and came to Canada with her parents when nine years of age. To Mr. and Mrs. Duncan eleven children were born; all of whom are still living. The sons are Robert at Pilot Mound; William, James, John and Albert at Regina; Hugh at Strathcona; Alexander Sidney on the McFarlene farm and Ed on the homestead; the daughters are Maggie (Mrs. Butchart) and Lizzie (Mrs. Dr. Paterson) in Almonte, and Aggie (Mrs. Holden) at Pilot Butte, Man. The first break in the family circle occurred four years ago when Mrs. Duncan passed away, and now Mr. Duncan makes the second. Mr. Duncan was of a retiring disposition and never sought public office of any kind, preferring the quiet of his own home. He was of a robust constitution, and even until not long ago he thought little of a tramp out to the farm and spending the day busily working about because he loved to work. The funeral has been delayed until Sunday afternoon to enable members of the family at a distance to attend. It will take place at 3 o'clock to the eighth line cemetery.

?b?Mr. Duncan's Funeral?/b?
The funeral of the late James Duncan took place from his home on Elgin street to the the Eighth Line Cemetery on Sunday afternoon, and was attended by a large concourse of people both from the town and township in which his long life had been spent. Two of his sons, James of Regina, and robert from Pilot mound, were among the cheif mourners. The pallbearers were three who were near neighbours of Mr. Duncan when he was on the farm - Messrs John Neilson, Graham Forgie and Donald Stewart, and three of his nearby town neighbours - Messrs HH Cole, S Young and John McFarlane. The funeral services were conducted by Rev C. H. Daly, of St. John's church, of which Mr. Duncan had been a member for many years. Among the floral tributes was a beautiful wreath from the family.
