About a month ago I noticed that the Documents folder had disappeared from my Finder. Using Spotlight I located it on my Hard Drive and dragged it to the Finder. The Finder now reveals a Docs Folder as shown in this screen shot.

Spotlight reveals Docs folders as shown in the following screen shot PLUS another Docs folder under Users.

Saving documents updates only one of them. How can I return to sanity? Thanks for any guidance

You are not seeing anything strange! I have two Documents folders also, one as (like you) at the "root" level, ie, together with Applications, System, Library, and Users), and the other (again like you) under Users. On my Mac, for the one under Users, I only see a backup of my Quicken 2007 "data" file, and a folder containing Office 2011 "stuff" (which I believe I do not need).
