4/19/00 Mrs. Brown, I understand Lewis Duggan Duke, my great-grandfather,
and Mary Simpson Duke, my great-grandmother, are buried in West Antioch
Cemetery in Bolling, Alabama, near Greenville. I'm the son of George Duke and
grandson of William Lewis Duke, who owned several hundred acres of land near
Wild Fork and Bolling. I've traced Lewis Duggan Duke back to Taylor County,
Georgia. He was the son of Darling Duke, a justice of the peace in Taylor
County and Marion County, Georgia. My great-grandfather served as a sergeant
in the 28th Battalion, Company D, the Georgia Siego Artillery, Confederate
Army, during the War Between the States. He was the grandson of Lewis Duke of
Fairfield County, South Carolina. I would appreciate any additional
information you could provide on those buried in West Antioch Cemetery.
Thanks. Bobby Duke, Frederick, Maryland >>

Reprint of Obituary in The Butler Herald, Tuesday, August 2, 1881 published in
the Taylor Tracer.
The sudden death of Mr. Darling Duke, last Monday morning caused much surpise
in this section. He complained sometime after supper Sunday night
of "heartburn", but at three o'clock that night he was feeling very well.
Failing to get up as early as usual that moring, his family decided to permit
him to rest until breakfast. When that had been made ready, Mrs. Duke went to
arouse him, and to her great surprise discovered that he was dead. Mr. Duke was
about sixty-five years old and had possessed a strong constitution. He has
resided in this section a long time, and was an industrious thoroughgoing and
worthy citizen, who had the confidence and esteem of those who knew him.
