CLEVELAND R. DUNCAN, M. D.

Dr. Cleveland R. Duncan has been actively and successfully engaged in the
practice of medicine at Wapato for the past nine years and enjoys an enviable
reputation in this connection. His birth occurred in Columbus Junction, Iowa,
in 1884, his parents being Joseph and Ida Duncan. The father, who followed
general agricultural pursuits throughout his active business career, has passed
away, but the mother still survives and now makes her home in Washington.

Cleveland R. Duncan supplemented his early educational training by a course of
study in the State University of Iowa, which institution conferred upon him the
degree of Bachelor of Science in 1906. He then entered the medical department of
the university and three years later won the degree of M. D. The year 1909
witnessed his arrival in Wapato, Washington, where he has followed his
profession continuously to the present time, having built up an extensive and
gratifying practice. His ability is pronounced and has become widely
recognized, as he is correct in diagnosis and has successfully treated many
obstinate cases. He is a member of the Yakima County Medical Society, the
Washington State Medical Society and the American Medical Association, thus
keeping in close touch with the progress of the profession. Doctor Duncan owns
an excellent tract of land comprising one hundred and sixty acres which is
devoted to diversified farming and which adds materially to his income.

In 1909 Doctor Duncan was united in marriage to Miss Jennie Kennedy, who is also
a graduate of the State University of Iowa, having completed a course in that
institution with the class of 1908. They have become parents of a son, Bruce
Kennedy, who is now five years of age.

In his political views Doctor Duncan is a democrat, exercising his right of
franchise in support of the men and measures of that party. He is a worthy
exemplar of the Masonic fraternity, belonging to the blue lodge at Iowa City,
and is likewise identified with the Knights of Pythias and with the Benevolent
Protective Order of Elks in Yakima. In his profession he holds to the highest
standards and in all the relations of life has proven worthy of the regard and
esteem entertained for him.
