John F. Tucker Obituary

DEATH OF MR. JOHN F. TUCKER--- A telegram was received last Wednesday night by Esq. A. J. TUCKER, that his son, John F. TUCKER, had died suddenly in his new faraway adopted home, Albuquerque. N. M. A recent attack of flu was given as the cause of his sudden death, for before this attack, he seemed to be surely improving. One of the saddest features of his death was the fact that his wife, who had journeyed with her husband to the far west in search of his health, was deprived of being with him in his last hours, as she was confined in a hospital from a recent operation. The only member of the family able to accompany the body back home for interment, was his son, Irvin, who arrived Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, over the L & N. Immediately upon arrival, the body was carried out to his father's home at Johnsons Grove. On Monday at 2 p. m., the Methodist Church at Johnsons Grove was filled with sorrowing relatives and friends. When the funeral services were held by his pastor, Rev. J. M. KENDALL, assisted by Rev. J. M. JENKINS and J. C. W. NUNN. Interment at Old Liberty, the floral offerings, beautiful and fragrant, covering the grave. Thus another of our progressive successful business men, in the prime of life, 41 years og age, is cut down by the "last enemy", reminding us of the uncertainty of life, and the certainity of death. A host of friends deeply sympathize with the bereaved family.
