Duncan, Friday in the Meadow Ward Chapel at 1 o'clock under the direction of Bishop J. Milton Beckstrand. Mrs. Duncan, who died on her seventy-seventh birthday, following an illness of less than a week, was born November 21, 1862, in Salt Lake City, the daughter of Elias A. and Sophia Haglund Beckstrand.
