The Duvall Family
Photo Album |
The Duvall family lived around the Leesburg/Duncan’s Bridge area in the early days and later moved to Madison. Henry Clay Duvall migrated from Kentucky to Carroll County, MO. After losing his first wife, Elizabeth Jane O’Neal, in childbirth, he moved to Monroe County. He married Nancy Jane Capp in August 1875. Submitted by: Don Duvall |
Amna Duvall; date unknown. |
Raymond (Slim) Duvall and his early model truck with a Traffic brand radiator; date unknown. Slim’s brother, Walker, was always taking his truck (without permission) to do jobs and they squabbled about it all the time. Later in life, Walker borrowed his brother Clyde’s car to go out on dates - without permission, of course! |
William (Will) Marion Duvall mining coal north of Madison; date unknown. Will (1869-1938) was a carpenter by trade and built several houses still standing today. Family lore is that the family was so poor they didn’t own a horse so he had to walk from Duncan’s Bridge to build the house that now stands across from the Moberly racetrack! |
Margaret (Walker) Duvall (1873-1944) with son Raymond; ca 1898. |
The William and Margaret Duvall family; date unknown. They ultimately had 8 children – 3 girls and 5 boys. |
Henry Clay Duvall, father of William; date unknown. |
A trio of young girls and their dolls; date unknown. Dorothy Lee (Barns) Duvall (1913-1995) is on the right; the other girls are not named. Dorothy lived around Tulip, south of Madison, about the time this photo was taken. She married John Marion Duvall, who retired as a rural mail carrier; when the roads were too bad, he had assistants on horseback to help him deliver the mail. |
Walker Duvall and Grandma Walker; 1948. This photo was taken just before he opened a feed and produce store in Madison. |
