  	The Almonte Gazette Almonte, Ontario, Canada Thursday, November 3, 1949, p. 4 ALLAN M. DUNCAN Following six month's critical illness, Allan M. Duncan passed away at his home on the 11th line of Ramsay Township on Monday, October 31, in his 41st year. A son of Mr. Edward Duncan and his wife, Beatrice Miller, now of Carleton Place, he was born on the Duncan homestead on the 11th line. All of his life was spent in this community and prior to his marriage in June 1941, he purchased the John Ryan farm which he farmed successfully up to the time of his illness. He leaves his wife, the former Dorothy Paul, and one daughter, Paula, aged seven. Besides his father and mother, he is survived by three sisters and five brothers, namely: Mabel, Mrs. Wm. Taber of Toronto; Muriel, Mrs. Walter Redden of Kingston; Rae, Mrs. Allan Lytle of Arnprior; William of Pine Portage, Ont.; Morden, on the homestead; Kenneth, 8th line of Ramsay, and Gordon and Hugh, 11th line of Ramsay. Two brother are deceased, Harold and Bert, who was killed overseas in World War II. Mr. Duncan's long illness was all the more tragic because he was suffering from leucaemia [leukemia] for which there is no known cure. Of the three local young people whose illness last spring was diagnosed as leucaemia, he alone responded to treatment temporarily and hope for his ultimate recovery was held for some time. Held in the highest regard as a neighbor and by a host of friends, his passing is a loss to the community that is deeply regretted. The funeral was held on Thursday, November 3rd, at 2.30 o'clock p.m. from his late residence to the Auld Kirk Cemetery. Rev. H. C. Wolfraim, minister of Bethany United Church of which deceased was a member, officiated. Interment was in the Auld Kirk Cemetery. Following six month's critical illness, Allan M.
