    E. Flander Duff, 97, who quit farming in his twenties to join the Union Army of the Civil War, died at the home of his son Garfield Duff, of Blue Ball Pike, Monday night. He had been failing rapidly the past few months and death was not unexpected.

    Upon retiring 16 years ago, he came here to make his home with his son who survives with 10 other children, Courtney, Edward, Guy, Buford, Harrison and Tom Duff, Mrs. May Dunaway and Mrs. June Meeks, of this city, Sam and John Duff, of Campton, Ky., and 43 grandchildren.
     A member of the Methodist Church of Campton, Ky., he joined the Nazarene Church upon coming to Middletown. The Rev. Charles Henderson will conduct the funeral Thursday at 2:30 P.M. at the church. Burial will be in Woodside Cemetery.
    The body will remain at the Baker Funeral Home until time for the funeral.
