MR. THOMAS DAVID DUGGAN - Submitted by Freida Wells.

AT REST
T. D. Duggan

Uncle Tommy, as he was called by everyone who knew him. Lived for a goodly number of years on a small farm about 7 miles south of Cedar Vale. He was always a great lover of his family and home. Several years ago one of the children was called home and this worried Uncle Tommy so he and his family moved to Cedar Vale. Both young and old knew him for his jolly ways, always enjoying a nice clean joke but if you told a smutty one Uncle Tommy would point his finger at you with shame and if you did not head he would pass on.

His children after being grown with families of their own would be reprimanded if they did that which was not right.

For several weeks before his death he was on his bed and the end was not expected, yet his family, relatives and neighbors were heart broken because of the passing away of a kind and loving husband, father and neighbor.
A Friend.
