Mrs. W.H. Duncan Dies of Injuries Sustained In Fall
The Funeral from the Home Near Meadville Tomorrow - Interment in the Ogan Cemetery.
About 10 o'clock yesterday morning, as Mrs. W.H. Duncan, who resides five and one-half miles northeast of Meadville, in clay township, was weighing up some feed for her chickens, she accidently fell, striking her head either on the cement floor or on some machinery in the building, forming a fractur of the skull. Shortly after the accident she was found by her husband, W.H. Duncan, and some members of the family, lying on the cement floor in an unconscious state and taken to the house, form which condition she never rallied and passed away about 10:30 o'clock. A doctor was called immediately following the accident, but before he could arrive Mrs. Duncan had succumbed. She was conversing with the family about ten minutes before the accident happened but none of them were present at the time. The fatal accident was a distinct shock to her many friends throughout the neighborhood and the county, as she had been in exceptionally good health up to this time.
