William T. Duncan, a former member of the Oakland County Board of Supervisors,

in the City of Berkley.
Mr. Duncan was a former plumbing inspector for Berkley, Oak Park and Royal Oak
Township; a former Berkley City Council member, a member of the Oakland County Board
of Supervisors for 15 years, having served on its Health Committee and Health Board for
9 years and was a village commissioner for the Village of Berkley in 1926.
He served five years with the Canadian Expeditionary Force in Europe during World

Berkley, Herbert R. of Birmingham, two daughters, Mrs. Charles Weis, Berkley, Miss
Patricia Duncan, at home; 19 grandchildren and five great grandchildren.
William T. Duncan was a man whose spunky reputation and long standing civic
record earned him the name of "Mr. Berkley."
He was devoted to his community and worked diligently in the interests of health
and environmental improvements for the benefit of all of the citizens of Oakland County and
he will be keenly missed by all who were privileged to know him.
MR. CHAIRMAN, I move that the foregoing memorial resolution be spread upon the
minutes of this meeting and that a certified copy affixed with the Seal of the County of
Oakland be forwarded to his surviving wife, Elizabeth.
