Obituary: Edward G. DUCKELS Succumbs After a Long Illness.
Died, at his residence in Carlinville, at 10 o'clock Saturday night, March
23d, Edward G. DUCKELS, aged 64 years, 5 months and 22 days. After
a long and painful illness, Edward G. DUCKELS succumbed to an ailment
which baffled the skill of the ablest physicians. He has been in poor health
for more than a year, and though all was done that could be done to restore
him to health, he continued to decline until death relieved his suffering.
Edward G. DUCKELS was born in Chesterfield township, this county,
on the first day of October, 1842. He was a son of William and Frances
DUCKELS. His father was a native of Yorkshire, England, as also
was his mother, who maiden name was Frances GARLICK. The subject
of this sketch attended the local schools and later Shurtleff college,
and worked on his father's farm near Chesterfield until the outbreak of
the civil war. In 1862 he offered his services to his country and enlisted
in the 122d Reg. Ill. Vol. Inf., and was a member of Co. D. with the rank
of sergeant. He served faithfully until mustered out at Springfield in
1865, He participated in a great number of skirmishes and was in these
serious engagements, Parker's Cross Roads, Tupelo, Town Creek, Nashville
and Fort Blakely. At Parker's Cross Roads, he was slightly wounded. He
also commanded the second platoon of his company on the first day of the
battle of Nashville when the company gallantly captured a battery from
the enemy. After his return from the army, Mr. DUCKELS resumed work
on his father's farm and continued there until 1869, when he was married
to Miss Emma L. LAWSON, a daughter of Z. B. and Louisa A. LAWSON.
The LAWSON family is an old settled one in Herkimer Co., New York
and came to Illinois in an early day and located first at White Hall and
later in Polk township. After his marriage, Mr. DUCKELS engaged
in farming and stock raising and continued in this pursuit a great many
years. He prospered and continued to reside on his farm until the fall
of 1906, when he purchased a home in Carlinville, and removed here to spend
the balance of his days. Illness and death intervened and have shattered
the hopes and plans of these estimable people. Mr. and Mrs. E. G. DUCKELS
have a family of children of whom they might well be proud. They are:
Emma Fay, who married Prof. W. A. HOBLIT, and who now resides in
Jacksonville, Ill.; William L., the efficient cashier of the Bank of Chesterfield,
Myron E., now engaged in business in Mexico; Perry, who did service in the
Spanish-American war as a member of the 5th Illinois regiment, and who resides just west
of Carlinville, and Frederick, who is the assistant secretary of the State
Y.M.C.A. of Kansas. Another child, Lewis L. died in infancy. E. G. DUCKELS
was a man well known throughout the county. He had no enemies. He was a
man distinguished for his honesty and unswerving integrity. Every one
regarded him most highly. He was a consistent, faithful member of the congregational
church. In politics he was a Republican. He was an honored member of the
Masonic order and of the Modern Woodmen of America. Mr. DUCKELS
is survived by his widow and the children named above and the following
named brothers and sisters: Thomas G. DUCKELS, of Jacksonville;
Mrs. T. L. LOOMIS, of Carlinville; Mrs. J. W. ARMSTRONG,
of Polk township; Mrs. John SIMS, of Colorado Springs, and Jos.
R. DUCKELS of Carlinville. In his death the city of Carlinville
and Macoupin county have lost a splendid citizen and an upright man, while
the family mourn the loss of a husband and father whom they loved with
rare devotion. The funeral services over the remains of the late Edward
G. DUCKELS were held from the M. E. church at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon.
A large concourse of friends and relatives assembled to pay their last
respects to a man honored and beloved. Dr. T. A. CANADY, pastor
of the church, officiated and delivered an eloquent and impressive discourse.
He was assisted in the services by Rev. W. T. CAMPBELL, of Chesterfield.
The interment was in the city cemetery and the last sad rites were
under the direction of the Chesterfield Masonic lodge. Senator F. W. BURTON
of Mt. Nebo lodge delivered the ritualistic oration of the order in an
earnest and eloquent manner. The bereaved ones have the sympathy of a wide

DUCKELS, An Old Resident of West Part of Macoupin, Passed Away
Friday Morning. John H. DUCKELS, one of the most prominent citizens of
Chesterfield township, died at his home west of Chesterfield at 1:30 Friday
morning Oct 1). The funeral was held Sunday at 2 o'clock at the residence.
Mr. DUCKELS had been in feeble health for two or three years and
had been a constant care. The deceased was born on the 16th day of February,
1850, his parents being Richard and Elizabeth (MORRIS) DUCKELS.
Mr. DUCKELS was of English ancestry, they having come over from
Yorkshire England. He was one of a family of twelve children. Those living
are as follows: Geo. DUCKELS of Carlinville; Henry C., Oscar, Grant
and Rollin DUCKELS who reside in the Chesterfield vicinity; Anna,
wife of Aaron LOVELESS of Carlinville; Laura, who makes her home
with Mrs. DOWLAND of Chesterfield. In March, 1872, Mr. DUCKELS
was united in marriage with Miss Elizabeth MORRIS, the only
child of Felix and Susan (ABNER) MORRIS. To this union were
born nine children: Mrs. Lawrence KETCHUM, now deceased; Mrs. John
HALL, Chesterfield, Mrs. POINTER of Springfield; Edward,
Morris, Clarence, Hayden and Howard, all residing in Chesterfield or vicinity.
Mr. DUCKELS obtained his education in the public schools and worked
on his father's farm until 1876 when he located in section 4, Chesterfield
township. He always took a great interest in public affairs and was supervisor
of his township for about 16 years. He was one of the most useful members
on the board and was one of its leaders. On all the plans that were put
forward by the board, Mr. DUCKELS was always taken into consideration
and usually carried his point. In politics he was a staunch Republican,
and in religion he was a Methodist. Fraternally he was identified with
the Modern Woodmen of America. The deceased was one of the best men in
Macoupin county. He was a leader in his community and a man in whom his
neighbors reposed great confidence. He was never known to turn down a
friend. He was of a jovial disposition and anyone in conversation with him
for any length of time would usually enjoy some joke that he would tell. He
was, of course, one of the descendants of the early English families that
located in the Chesterfield vicinity. His father was a brother of the late
William DUCKELS who had quite a large family. With all the intermarriages,
there are, we would presume at least 200 people who are relatives of the
DUCKELS in Macoupin County.

Obituary: Death of Capt. J. L. DUGGER The Tazewell Register has the painful duty of
announcing the death of Capt. Jefferson L. DUGGER, of Atlanta, Logan County, and
formerly of Carlinville in this State. Under the FILLMORE
administration Captain DUGGER held a responsible clerical position in one of the Departments
at Washington, in which position he continued until the inauguration of President PIERCE.
Returning to Illinois he employed himself for two or three years in editing the Macoupin Statesman
at Carlilnville. Afterwards, however, he temporarily abandoned political life, and in June, 1854,
marrying Miss Mary E. GILL, of Tazewell county, he was sometime engaged in active mercantile
pursuits at Atlanta, Logan County. About the year 1858 0r 1859, if we remember rightly he went to
Kansas and edited a paper for sometime at Leavenworth, in that State. In 1861, Capt. DUGGER
was appointed to a very respectable office in the pension department by his personal friend,
President LINCOLN, which place he held until last spring, when he resigned to assume active
duties in the field, as an adjutant on Gen. PRENTISS' staff, at Helena. There he was attacked
with the complaints prevailing at that important post, and obtaining leave of absence, at once repaired
to his family at Atlanta. On Thursday the 16th inst., he was seized with a fit of apoplexy, and almost
instantly expired. He was aged about 38 years. Capt. DUGGER was a gentleman of fine abilities,
endowed with the warmest and most friendly traits, devoted to the cause of his country, almost to a
fault, and died lamented by a large circle, embracing the highest respectability and influence.
