The History of the Yakima Valley, Washington, Comprising Yakima, Kittitas and Benton Counties, The S.J. Clarke Publishing Co., 1919, Volume II, page 786 GEORGE B. DUNCAN, D. V. S. Dr. George B. Duncan, deceased, became a resident of Yakima in 1904 and continued to make his home in the city until death called him seven years later. He was born in Iowa about the year 1868 and acquired a public school education in that state. He afterward prepared for a professional career by study in the Ontario University of Veterinary Surgery and Medicine, from which he won his degrees upon graduation. He located for practice in Beloit, Kansas, where he remained until 1904 and then sought the Pacific northwest, making his way to Yakima, where he continued to abide until called to the home beyond. Here he successfully practiced and his patronage grew with the passing years. His ability in his profession was widely acknowledged and his personal worth won him the respect and confidence of all with whom he was brought in contact. Fraternally he was connected with the Modern Woodmen of America. In 1899 Dr. Duncan was united in marriage to Miss Nettie E. Craft, a native of Iowa, who removed to Kansas with her parents during her girlhood. Mrs. Duncan has been secretary and treasurer of the Cascade Creamery Company since its organization and is thus actively identified with a business which has been built up to extensive proportions. Its output is today five hundred thousand pounds of butter and five hundred thousand pounds of condensed milk annually, together with fifty thousand gallons of ice cream, which is sold throughout the Yakima valley. The company maintains the highest standards of excellence in its products and employs the most modern and scientific methods in their production and handling. A new building has been erected especially for their purpose, finished in white throughout, and theirs is one of the finest dairies in the state. Mrs. Duncan is active in the management and control of this business, in which connection she displays marked enterprise and ability. ******************************** Submitted to the Washington Bios Project in January 2008 by Jeffrey L.
