Mary J. Duke, at the age of 38 married for the first
time to Robert Singleton (listed in the cemetery
survey). She was his 2nd wife. I have discovered a
rather poignant poem said to be inscribed on his
headstone; When I can go back to the cemetery, I will
do a rubbing to be sure:
"The best, the dearest favorite of the shy Must taste
that cup for that man is born to die." I find the poem
interesting, for Mary died in 1902 and Robert in 1908.
Mary Duke Singleton died only 3 months after her mother
Mary Jane Stewart Duke.
I believe that the daughters of Darling Duke were named
for Mary Jane, and possibly for my gg grandmother
Frances Elizabeth White Duke, wife of Meredith Duke;
And, that the sons were named for Mary Janes's father
and brother (I believe her parents were Edmond and
Martha Stewart, whose son James is the "Stewart, J. F.
Co A 46 GA Inf CSA" in the cemetery survey).
