It is not known where the family lived a century ago, but the first land purchase seems to have that of James Duncan’s son, Lewis G. Duncan (1886-1981), who m. 25 September 1918 Clara Miles (1895-1992), and purchased the Charles Harvey farm in 1919 (see Carey family). This house (on the spot where Ronald Duncan later built his house) was destroyed on 25 January 1924 in a dreadful early-morning fire. Lewis, returning from the barn, was badly burned trying to rescue three children who were trapped inside and died of smoke inhalation. For a season, the family lived in the house at Avonport Beach before returning to live in another house on their property, where Lewis and his wife lived the rest of their lives. Their tragedy, however was never forgotten, and when the new church was built at Avonport a stained glass window was installed in memory of the three children.

| 1400 | vanKIPPERSLUIS, Antonius \'Tony\' —- 62, of South Alton, Kings Co., passed away on Sunday, September 26, 2010, after a courageous five year battle with brain cancer. Born in Utrecht, Holland, he was a son of Johanna vanKippersluis, Mount Denson and the late Cornelis vanKippersluis. Tony immigrated with his family to Caledonia, in 1955 and most recently resided in South Alton. Tony was a man with a great vision and passion for life who had more ideas than time. His love of building things was apparent, even as a young boy when he crafted his own wooden chainsaw, boat, rifle and even a guitar. As he grew older, his love of the outdoors led him to start in the forestry business and as a teenager he went on to earn his diploma in welding at the Kentville Community College. Tony loved to work, and work hard he did, establishing many businesses over the years, including a welding and fabrication shop, Christmas tree operation and u-pick, firewood and forestry business and septic pumping service. He even ran a pig farm and tractor dealership along the way. When Tony was initially diagnosed with brain cancer, and given only a short time to live, in true form he made a plan and a final list of all the things he needed to build and even in his final months he was still dreaming up new ideas. Tony was a true inspiration to everyone that knew him, he was so positive and while he accepted his fate he never gave up, with his wife Margaret standing strong by his side, no stone was left unturned where his treatment was concerned. | Van Kippersluis, Antonius (I7321)
