The story below was written by Charles Jewel Duncan and contributed by his sister, Betty Ruth Duncan Pace. She also contributed the genealogy for Mary Ann "Polly" Knight and Walter J. Duncan s family which can be found at the end of the story.

Charles and Betty Ruth s parents were Isaac Newton Duncan and his wife Leoda Crain. Isaac was the youngest son of Mary Ann "Polly" Knight and John Walton Duncan.

Mary Ann "Polly" Knight was the daughter of William Knight and his first wife Mary Ann Jenkins. William Knight was the son of Charles and Susannah Knight.

Charles Knight was the first Knight of Washington Parish, Louisiana. He was born in Virginia and lived in Bulloch County, Georgia before coming to Washington Parish around 1810.

A story of the hardships of Isaac Newton and Leoda Crain Duncan in making a living and rearing a family during the 1900s.

This is an appropriate title, I think, and I will try to recall some of the things that happened at each place we lived, and I'll try, to the best of my recollection, to tell where each of the children were born and the year.

Isaac Newton Duncan and Leoda Crain were married on February 9,1909. Dad's family consisted of 10 boys and 3 girls and 2 grandsons whom they raised. However, at the time of Mom and Dad's marriage, many of his brothers and sisters were already married and had families of their own he being the youngest of the family.

Mom was living with Aunt Emily Branch since her daddy, Elias Crain, had died before she was old enough to remember. Her mother had married again to Elias Martin, who was a widower divorced with children, too. Uncle Oliver Martin, his son, had married Aunt Lillie, my mother's sister. I remember us children trying to figure out what relation everybody was to the other.

After Mom and Dad were married, they stayed with his family, but I don't know for how long. They lived on Cousin Bob Duncan's place at the time.

Grandpa Duncan had homesteaded a place between Sheridan and Franklinton, Louisiana in the 1800's. One of the older boys, Uncle John, I think, had moved over to Mississippi at Maxie, and Grandpa's health had gotten bad, so Uncle John talked them into moving to Maxie.

I don't know how long they lived over there, but Grandpa died and was buried at Maxie, Mississippi. He was an old Confederate Soldier and I remember the government gave him a tombstone in 1938 or 1939, and we carried it over to Maxie and erected it. Uncle Jim, Uncle Luke, Aunt Fanny, Aunt Sally, Mom, Dad, and I went to erect the tombstone. We had a hard time finding the cemetery and then finding the grave.

I don't know where Mom and Dad moved the first time, but they did live near Columbia, Mississippi in 1910 in the Goss Community on a Mr. Brook's place. Dad farmed there in 1910 and I was born there on November 7,1910. There had been a child born in December, 1909, but it was premature and died at birth. I remember Mom and Dad talking about a Manson Brooks, one of Mr. Brook's sons.

My earliest recollection is living on a Mr. Scarborough's place at Angie, Louisiana, and he had a son named Dewey. I remember Pearl, the baby that was born after me, must have been about 1911 or 1912, for he was over a year old when he died. Then we lived on a Mr. Seals' place near Angie, close to Uncle Dave Duncan's place. It was there I was crawling around on the floor and stuck a splinter in my foot and took blood poison and erysipelas in my foot and leg, and old Dr. McNeese operated on my foot, and I still have the scar. From there, we must have moved back to Cousin Bob's place on the hill north of the little creek. It was there that Pauline was born. An old colored woman, Aunt Clory, was the granny-woman that delivered her. That was in 1914. That was the year I saw my first automobile. Cousin Bob bought a 1914 Ford T-Model. Ed, Cousin Bob's son, was a pretty good size boy and learning to drive and got in the ditch in front of our house. They got some rails off the old rail fence and pried the car out. I watched and was amazed as any 4 year old boy would be at seeing his first car.

Dad was working in the woods cutting timber logs. There was a logging camp called Stewart's Camp and it was on some land west of the Sam McKenzie place. I think one of the Turnage boys owns the land now. There was a school at this camp and that is where I started to school.

We moved over to the old round-top house where Jessie McKenzie later owned and lived. From there, we moved to a little house back near the swamp on this same place east of the round- top house. This old place was known as the Colonel Hobgood place since it was once owned by Colonel Hobgood, Cousin Bob's father-in-law. But it was owned by Cousin Bob Duncan at this time. Mom and Dad had a colored girl that stayed with us there. Her name was Little Dora, and there was a Big Dora, too, living on Cousin Bob's place.

From there we moved across the creek east of the old Hobgood place and homesteaded a place. I don't know how many acres there were, but it was pretty land. It was north of the old Ball place. They built a small house on it and began clearing the land. I remember a big hole in the ground for us to get water from, and I remember holding one end of a cross-cut saw while Dad did most of the sawing. I must have been about 6 years old. All the neighbors and friends came in and they gave a Log Rolling, clearing the land. I guess they cleared about 20 acres. About this time World War I was about to break out. So Dad didn't want to leave us out there-Mom with 2 small children. So we moved to Uncle Oliver Martin's place for a little while until Dad could get a job in Bogalusa. He got a job at the railroad shops and we moved in with Dad's family. Uncle Luke and Uncle Tom were still at home, and also Carlos, Uncle John's son. We stayed there for a short time and moved to a house in Keystown. That was a place between Adamstown and the Terrace where Aunt Mary Williams lived.

Then we moved into one of Uncle Frank Breland's houses which is now the west end of Ontario Avenue, I believe. It was here that Lots was born and Dad was reclassified. This meant he did not have to go into the service. The war was over in 1918, and I think it was in the fall of that year that we moved to Angie on John Singley's place. He was Uncle Dave Duncan's son-in-law; he married Olivia.

We made a crop on John's place that year, and that was the year the great flu epidemic broke out and killed so many people both the boys in the Army camps and civilians as well. We all had it, and Dad almost died. He and John had been burning coal in the woods. I know you've heard how they used to burn coal and ship it out on the railroad. That was one of the ways to make a living in those days. When we all got well and had gathered the crop, dad started driving a 4-up mule team for Mr. Charlie Pope. We moved to a camp that Mr. Pope had set up between Varnado and Angie west of that road somewhere in the Miley community. We lived in some camp cars and the other men lived in tents and Mom cooked for them.

We then moved to an old double-pen log house that belonged to one of the Mileys. We stayed there a short time, and Dad rented the Oscar Temple place. Oscar had rented a place from a Mr. Vamado (Dave). I believe he was a merchant in Franklinton. We farmed there that year. I think this must have been in 1919. Then we moved into a house of Uncle Monroe Knight's. This wasn't far from the Temple place. I remember Pauline and I walked to Pine to school. We hadn't been to school since we left Bogalusa. We lived here a few months and then moved to a Turpentine Camp (they called it). The camp was located where Red Bateman lived on the Sheridan to Bogalusa highway. It was a camp where they hauled the turpentine they drained from the pine timber by scraping on each side of the tree and putting containers to catch the turpentine. When they were full, they poured the turpentine into big wooden barrels, loaded them on wagons pulled by mule teams and hauled them to the distillery where the caps and barrels were steamed out and cleaned. This camp was called #5 Camp, and it was at this camp that Lots took sick with dysentery and died in a short time. She was around 2 years old.

We moved soon after to #3 Logging Camp. It was about 10 miles out of Bogalusa, back in the pasture on the south side of the Franklinton road near Betsy's Creek. Dad cut logs for a while and filed saws. Then he bought a big gray horse. The horse had been a Calvary horse in the army and weighed about 1200 lbs. Papa started putting engine wood on the tracks for the old shop engines to burn. He also made 2-sided cross ties for the spurs they laid out through the woods for the logging operations. It was in this camp that Horace was born, August 20,1920. Well, we lived there until I think it was the spring of 1922, and moved to the old Charlie Crain place in the Grain's Creek community. He had been dead several years, but he was the father of Cousin Houston Crain, Oilie Crain, Ethel Tynes, and Ida Crain.

We lived on this old place 2 years. It was owned by Uncle Ward Carnegie's son Lucious, who lived in Texas. He had paid over $2,000. for it and he sold it during the depression for $900. The crop years were bad those two years. It was here that Christine was born on December 14, 1922. In the fall of 1923, we moved back to a logging camp. This one was located near old Central Church and the old John Martin place east of Pine. I remember Christine was a pretty good sized baby and walking when she fell against an old red-hot tin heater and burned her face badly. She still had the scar when she died.

Well, Dad worked on through the winter of 1923. But then he got the farming fever again. So he went up to Dexter and rented a place from Mr. Danny Pittman, a very fine man. You remember he had two boys. Henry and Joe.

Well, we worked hard and made a pretty good crop that year, but only broke about even, I guess. Most people back in those times working were lucky to come out of debt at the end of the crop year. Anyway, when we got the crop gathered, some contract logging jobs were going on down around Uncle Oliver Martin's old place. So Papa went down and started sawing logs, and we moved into the little house that Pauline and Bill bought from Uncle Oliver, and it was there that Horace had pneumonia.

Our next move was to Uncle Ward Carnegie's old place, or sometimes called the Old Payne Place. We farmed there in 1923. This is the place where Waver was born on April 18. We had been going to school at Old Grain's Creek School since we had moved from the Danny Pittman's place. Uncle Ward had moved down to Lucious' place. We farmed the 1925 year on the Ward Carnegie's place. Dad had bought us a little mare from Cousin Bob Duncan and a buggy from Luther Carnegie, so we drove her to school. Dad worked in the woods cutting logs, and I did most of the farming. Dad had bought us an old 1923 Model T Ford the year we worked the Pittman place.

After we worked Uncle Ward's old place in 1925, we moved to Cousin Hubert Duncan's place after we laid the crop by. We cut engine wood and put by the tracks for the engines, for by this time the logging was about to play out. After we gathered the crop, we moved back to Bogalusa in the old Ritchie house behind where Poster's Service Station used to be on Sunset Drive. Dad and I worked at the furniture factory for awhile. Then we both went to work in the Paper Mill. We moved down there in the fall of 1926 and stayed there till 1929, but in the meantime, we moved a few more times. Betty Ruth was born in Bogalusa on June 26,1927. We moved from the Ritchie place I mentioned before to a house between Roster's Service Station and the curve. And from there we moved to a boarding house on Columbia Road where Mom planned on running a boarding house, but this wasn't to be. Most of us got down with measles. I was off from work for 2 weeks. So we moved again down on Long Avenue in one of old Rose's houses. She and her husband were Sicilian peddlers. We stayed there for about a week when an old lady who lived down the street came up to pay a visit and told Mom and Dad that she had a much nicer house that she would rent us cheaper than the one we were in. The old lady's name was Croche. Well, we hadn't been there long when I took the mumps and was off another 2 weeks. Well, I was making 25 cents per hour and Dad was making 30 cents per hour, but the rent and the groceries still had to be paid and about the time we got straightened out again we decided we needed a new car. So we traded our old one in and were waiting for delivery of the new one when the Wall Street Crash came, or as some called it the Panic of 1929. Half the men in the Paper Mill lost their jobs including Dad and myself.

Then in the spring of 1929, we moved to the Ollie Magee place at Dexter. In the fall, I started back to school but went only a couple of months for Dad went to Bogalusa and got another car, a 1927 Chevrolet. I went back down there and went to work in the Paper Mill and paid

notes on that car. I stayed with Aunt Fannie Johnson (dad's sister) while I worked there. Meanwhile, dad and the rest of the family finished gathering the crop and moved back down on Cousin Bob's place and helped him run a Tie Mill. My job played out at the Paper Mill, and I, too, came back out there and worked at the Tie Mill until we got a job planting pine trees down in the company pasture. We hauled some of the other men to work and made a little extra. Then we moved to Aussie Singleton's place and farmed in 1930. We still owed some on the car, so Dad borrowed the money to pay it off from Cousin Garland Duncan, and we moved down to the old round-top house on the state line and farmed there in 1930,1931,1932,1933, and 1934. In the meantime, I started back to school and finished high school at Dexter in 1933. We bought the old place on Copper's Ford Road (now known as Duncan Road) and took in about 20 acres in 1934. We also built the house (or Dad and Walter Payne did while we gathered the crop). We moved in and Huey was born there on September 8,1936. So he was the only one of the children who was bom on the old place the first place the Newton Duncan family had owned.

Well, that's the story and I hope the information which I have written here will help in many ways to show our children, and our grandchildren, the typical way most poor people lived back in those times. When we get too old to work today, we can be taken care of by our government something the people didn't have back in those days, except War Veterans and War Widows. Of course, we, the taxpayers, are paying for all the benefits that we enjoy today, but back in the old days many old people and also young children died without ever seeing a doctor.

We have so much to be thankful for today. And I sometimes think that our younger people

don't appreciate the good life we have in this country, and not many feel as patriotic as we should. I hope all this changes and that there will be as much change for the betterment of our children, and theirs, as has come about since my earliest memories of the hard times, as well as the good time.

For to all of us a little rain must fall, and let us live our lives each day as if it may be the last; Thanking God each day for all his bountiful blessings.

For as the pen of time writes on, and having writ, we cannot change one word of it.

As I remember a verse in the Old Literature and Life

Gather your flowers while you may,

For time is swiftly flying,

These same flowers that bloom today,

Tomorrow will be dying.

1. Robert Oscar Duncan (child was adopted by grandparents,

John & Mary Talley at age 14 months)

NOTE: This adoption is recorded in the Franklinton Courthouse along with land records. It was recorded in 1898  Robert O. Versus John W. Duncan, book 2, page 282  Adoption of Robert O. Duncan - The records did not tell why the father allowed the adoption, but there must have been a very good reason. The mother was not mentioned in the courthouse records. Perhaps the mother of the child died?? The child was adopted by his mother s parents, and the father stipulated in the adoption that he expected the grandparents to provide the necessities for his child. Many people had it very hard back then, and life was a struggle. I am sure the father was doing what he thought was best for his child.
