Biography
Angier Buchanan Duke was born on 8 Dec 1884 in Durham, Durham, North Carolina, the son of Benjamin Newton Duke and Sarah Pearson Angier.[1]
Following the accidental discharge of his gun in 1905 during a hunting trip, his left arm was amputated below the elbow.
He married Cordelia Drexel Biddle.[1]Although Cordelia is shown as a widow living with her parents on the 1920 US Census[2], she actually was separated from her husband Angier. Their divorce was granted in October 1921.[3]
Angier drowned on 3 Sept 1923 when he overturned the dinghy of his yacht as he stepped into it.[4] He is buried at the Maplewood Cemetery, Durham, Durham, North Carolina.[1]
