Obituary
Edward C. Tuck was born December 26, 1835, in Blount county, Tenn. In 1837 his parents, Joseph and Betsy Tuck, moved to Missouri and settled near Brighton, Polk county, where he was raised and lived until 1884, when he moved near Morrisville where he died March 15, 1903.
He was converted in early life at the Mitchell Camp Ground and joined the M. E. church, South, and remained a member until his death. He was always ready to do what he could for the church.
On November 27, 1859. he was married to Mary J. Mitchell. To this union were born eight children, seven of whom are still living and left to mourn with their afflicted mother the loss of a dear father and husband. He will also be missed by his brothers and sisters, four of whom were with him in his last illness, and also by his neigh-
neighbors and friends, of whom he had a great many. Since his death one man who frequently stopped in his home said, " I couldn't have thought more of my father than I did of Ed."
A good man has gone to his reward. In the language of his grief-stricken companion as she looked for the last time upon his face, we all say, "Farewell for a little while."

Notes for Mary Jane (Spouse 1)
Death of A. Pioneer Woman [1915]
The death of Mrs. Mary Jane Tuck occurred at her late residence in Morrisville on Monday evening of this week shortly after 6 o'clock of a complication of diseases, but it was not unexpected as her health had been failing rapidly for some time. She had been practically an invalid for forty years, although able to attend to her household duties during most of that period. Her long years of suffering, were borne uncomplainingly and with rare Christian fortitude. She had often said she would welcome the messenger when he should come, and almost her last words were "I am ready—only waiting, and I Smile at the thought of death."
Mrs. Tuck was born on the farm of her parents, Benjamin and Matilda (Looney) Mitchell, a half mile northwest of Morrisville, September 7, 1840, and was therefore in her seventy-fifth year. Her life of three quarters of a century was somewhat remarkable in that it was spent within a radius of a few miles of her birthplace. She attended school at the log school house at old Union, a mile south of this place. This locality was then a wild frontier. She liked to tell of early days, and mentioned having seen herds of deer on the present site of Morrisville, before this place was settled, which first bore the name of Pleasant Prairie.
On November 27, 1859 she was united in marriage with Edward C.Tuck, who devoted his life to farming in this community, dying in March, 1903. To this union eight children were born, all of whom survive but one son that died in infancy. All the children, with the exception of Mrs. Nettie Davies, of Nevada, City, California, were present at the funeral which was held Tuesday afternoon from the Methodist church, Revs. W. H. Winton. and M. A. Ewing officiating, both of whom paid fitting tribute to Mrs. Tuck's personal characteristics and to her long life of devotion to the church. However, she had not been permitted to attend services for many years owing to ill health. She joined the church here when thirteen years of age and thus was a member of the same for a period of nearly sixty-two years. She was known to her friends as a woman of charitable and hospitable impulses, delighting in doing what little she could to cheer and aid others. Her long years of suffering did not prevent her from seeing the silver lining in the clouds. Hers was a kind and gentle nature, and she was exceptionally fond of flowers.
Card of Thanks.
We desire to express our thanks and appreciation to our neighbors and friends for their assistance and sympathy during the last illness and death of our mother, and to assure them that we shall avail ourselves of any opportunity to return their kindness in. the future.
