Murray Co. , Ten May 30st 1856

To John & Mandy,
Dear friends -- I suppose you think I have forgotten you. Such is not the case. I have only been waiting to do something extraordinary, most uncommon - marry for instance, and then salute you with a big gun. But alas! such has not been my happy lot. How strange! But I know if I had stayed at one place long enough that I would have been married long since.
Yes talking to you about marrying, brings to mind my last winter adventure about Leesburg. O where's my Sallie? Why did you not encourage the matter a little more and let me bring my wanderings to an end.
What are you all doing about Leesburg?
I have almost forgotten how things are about there. I have lived an age since I left you. I have been lost , been sad, been gay, and O, Jerusalem been in love! But believe I have fought the hopeful fight and survived them all. Ah if I hain't loved since my eyes beheld the flowers of these fair climes, there's no affinity between children and shugar.
Well John, are you still in the notion of Kansas? Throw that up, and lets be off for Central America. When I left home I expected to get with Jack Watterhouse and pull cuts for destiny, and decide our course. But when I arrived at Cleveland much to my surprise I learned Jack abruptly dismissed his school and had passed through Cleveland a few days before me, on his way to Mississippi. I have learned since I came here that he had gone to join the Walker Revolution . It made one feel all ovenish; for I felt that all that had prevented me from being in the same shoot, was not meeting with him. Jack's a wreckless impulsive creature. I know a little better how to keep out danger.
But I have written so many long letters home since I have become permanently settled for a few weeks, that I shall try and be brief in this, as I have nothing to write that could interest you. Mandy I hope you locked my trunk and took the key. Don't let John wear-out all my old shirts for fear I don't many as ritch as I expect to. I expect some calls from the ladies in a few days and then with a soul all on fire I may write again. Write soon - anything about there will be of interest to me as I have not heard a word from there since I left. J Conley . Who is with Mc., where's Joe, how is all things going on? R. A. Russell

Note: This letter was written in 1856. When the 1860 Census was taken, Robert was living back in Leesburg with John and Amanda. He is supposed to have died in Marion County, Florida on 2 Feb 1861.

Death of John B. Duncan
On last Saturday night John B. Duncan, an aged and honored resident of our town quietly passed away at his home surrounded by his children. Death seemed to come as the result of the wearing out of life's forces and he breathed his last without a struggle and apparently without pain.
John Bovell Duncan was born in Washington County, Tenn., June 18, 1821, and died in Allerton, Iowa, Dec. 3, 1904, aged 83 years, 5 months and 15 days.
He moved from his native state to Gentry County, Mo., in an early day. From here he moved to Louisa county, Iowa, and about twenty years ago to Allerton which has been his home ever since.
Deceased was twice married, his first wife dying in Gentry County, Mo., where she lies buried. To this union three children were born, two of whom are living, R. M. Duncan of this place and A. R. Duncan of Pennsylvania. By his second marriage he had four children all living, Mrs. Jennie Morrison of Corydon, Mrs. Mollie Fox and Harry Duncan of Columbus Junction, and Miss Hattie of this place. All of these were present at the funeral except A. R. whose home was so far away that he could not reach here.
The funeral took place at the home on Monday and was attended by a large number of friends, services being conducted by Rev. W. H. Larrick, and the remains were deposited by the side of his wife in the Allerton cemetery, who passed away about sixteen years ago.

OCT. 28, 1833 -- APR. 9, 1887. Letter from Sarah E. Thompson to Robert Allison Russell , January 1860

Philander Mo Jan
Mr. Russell
Sir in compliance with the request of your departed sister with a sad heart I take my pen to perform the mournful task enjoined upon me. Your loved sister Harriet bid adieu to the sorrows of earth on the eight of Jan 1860. She made the request of me several months ago that when she was gone to write to you and give you all the satisfaction I could. I feel incompetent for the task, did not a sense of duty prompt me to it. I with others am bereaved for when lone without a home and my heart broken and bleeding, she took the lone orphan in sorrow and stricken in wore and gave her a sheltering home. Spoke words of peace to bind the broken heart. God give me strength [that] I will not prove faithless in performance of the duties enjoined upon me.
When I first come to live with her in August she was at times able to walk about, her cough was distressing. About the first of Oct she took her bed entirely. Said she never expected to be up again nor never was, except to sit a short time. About the middle of Dec she was taken worse and we had watches until she died. She suffered greatly but patiently. The reed on which she leaned was not broken. She enjoyed great peace of mind and retained her mind entirely until the last breath told us she was no more. She made requests as to the disposal of everything except her children. She could forn me flan. Told Mr. Duncan to do the best he could with them. She told me once, were you differently situated, she would like for you to take Russell . But as you had the care of step brothers and sisters, she could not ask it if she knew his father was willing to separate them.
She made known the spot she wished to be buried and the kind of coffin she wished (plain walnut). I don’t think I ever saw one so sensible in death. Spoke bravely to the last. She had her pipe and tried to smoke the last thing. She tried for relief. I wish I could tell you all you would like. When she was not so bad she often spoke of you. Sometimes her feelings would be too tender. I asked her once if she did not think you would come if she would write. Yes she said, I know he would drop all and come, but then she said unless he could stay until the last it would be best for him not to come. Said she could not bear it.
She said death and the cold grave had no terror. If her friends follow in her footsteps, it would be but a short time until they would be reunited, never to separate.
I am staying with the family still. A young man and wife are staying with us. Mr. Duncan’s business is in a very unsettled condition. He is deeply distressed. He first talked of taking his family to Iowa. But, upon reflection, he thought if I would remain with them, the children being used to me and attached to me, the weather being inclement, difficulty of amend, that he had best remain as he was until spring. In his present state of feeling is not capable of coming to any definite conclusion what to do. He is quite steady. Your sister had the satisfaction to see him again find peace with his sorrow and rejoice with her in a saving faith.
All the rest of the family are well as usual. Russell was very ill when his ma died, is almost well. Joseph is deeply grieved. He is old enough to realize his loss. I fear he will be a victim to the same disease.
Russell is standing by me. I told him I was writing to his uncle and what must he tell you. Said tell him I want to go and live with him for he is the best man in the world. Says he has not forgotten how you used to talk to the ducks. I asked little Bobby, the pet, what I should say, he said tell my uncle to be a good boy. He is a fine looking, sprightly boy.
I have tried to do my duty to your sister. I loved her dearly. She was my dearest friend to her children despite the feel tongue of slander that may be leveled at me, I will try to fulfill her request. No one ever has treated me as tenderly, dear to me as a sister. Kindly, though a stranger, write to me on the reception. Let me know this is received. Ask me anything you care to know. I will take a pleasure in answer you.
I have written an obituary notice. If published, we will send you a paper. Perhaps it would be a satisfaction. Mr. Duncan has gone to Albay to tend to some business. Respects and the boys love to you.
Nothing more at present.
} Respectfully
Mr. A. Russell} } Sarah E. Thompson

P.S. Mr. Duncan has just come in. Says tell you will write soon as he gets little composed. Never had write and will soon it give the req pleasure and to my lonely heart a word of kindly cheer would be great received. you’re a stranger can not a strange for you ???? has been a hose cold bard
