TUCK, Tom - Bro. Tom Tuck passed to his final reward at 1 o'clock Wednesday morning, April 7th, leaving a host of friends and relatives to mourn their loss but his gain. I am glad it has been my privilege to be in Bro. Tuck's home and enjoy his christian association and talk with him about the goodness of the Lord. If the subject of this sketch had lived until next July he would have been eighty-four years of age. Uncle Tom Tuck, as he was always called, came from Tennessee about 65 years ago and settled on what is known as Nubbin Ridge and spent the remainder of his life there. He told the writer of this sketch that he cut timber on the place where he passed to his final reward, 64 or 65 years ago. Everyone as far as I know had the utmost confidence in Bro. Tuck. He belonged to the Methodist church for many years and was a true friend to the church and his pastor. Rev. Elijah Buttram and Bro. Tuck cut wheat together on Father Miser's place in 1852 and it was very sad to hear Bro. Buttram and Rev. I.T. Rice tell of many things that had passed with them so many years ago. May Heaven's blessings rest on his children and loved ones. J.S. Hackler, his pastor.
