Samuel L. Duncan
Samuel L. Duncan was a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives from 1872 until 1876 and in the South Carolina Senate from 1876 until 1880.[1][2] A Republican, he represented Orangeburg. He opposed a bill to provide artificial legs to Confederate South Carolina veterans because it excluded U.S. Army veterans.[3] He was from Fort Motte.[3] He signed opposition to a delay of a State Senate investigation into the abuse of prisoners sent to work for railroads and other businesses.[3]
Duncan was born in the 1910s and died shortly before the start of World War I.[1]
