Joe Duncan School was rebuilt after a fire during the summer of 1907.  It was located on land originally part of the Simmons farm, in the SW corner of the W 1/2 of the SE 1/4 of Section 35 of Fountain Green Township.  After the school closed in 1942, ownership of the land reverted back to the Simmons family.  The building was razed circa 1967-68.
