Charles ]. Joyner, during his lifetime lived
near the head of Crooked Fork valley, in
Morgan county. He was a man of power
full physical development, brave, fearless
and of wonderful endurance. He fought
on the Union side during the civil strife
and then after the contention was over he
married and went to farming. In some
way when a boy the title of Duke" was
given to him, which ever after he was
known by.
Duke" Joyner was hard worker and a
coed farmer. One day while building an
underdrain. assisted by two small sons he
had stroke OF paralysis and was unable
to move, but could talk. Duke concluded
that he would superintend the operation of
taking his half-dead body home. He had
the two boys put a log chain, around his
body. Then he had them put down a
couple Of planks. Next they hitched the
chain to the OK chain and the oxen drew
bis body up on the wagon. While lying in

drove the oxen to his house. He survived
and lived a number of years after.
