Duncan's
Bridge, or " Leesburg " as it is familiarly
called, is situated in the western portion of Monroe
county, in Woodlawn township, 20 miles from Paris, 10
miles from Madison. The village is surrounded by a
prosperous farming community, and the village itself
can boast of superior business qualifications and
enterprise as will be shown by the growth and
prosperity of the place. Eight years ago there was
only one business house and one saw-mill; to-day there
are three dry goods and grocery stores, one drug
store, two saw and grist mills, one furniture store,
two blacksmith shops, one wagon shop, one carding
machine run by steam. All are in prosperous condition,
and at no distant day Duncan's Bridge, though a
thriving village now, will reach an epoch when it will
be known as one of the important towns of Monroe
county
