Kokomo Gazette Tribune - Saturday Evening, October 8, 1887:
Joseph Luckey was born in Athels County, Ohio on May 19, 1818 and departed this life October 6, 1887 aged sixty-nine years, four months, and eleven days. He was united in marriage to Catherine Lee on February 22, 1847. By this union, there were born to them eleven children, eight sons and three daughters, of whom five sons and two daughters, with his companion, survive him. He was converted in 1852 and united with the M.E. Church of which body he remained a consistent member until death.
In the winter of 1863, he enlisted in the 130th Regiment Indiana Volunteers and participated in all of the battles and skirmishes through which his regiment passed, following Sherman in his march to the sea. He returned in '65 broken in health to resume his domestic cares. His life was a life of toil and trouble, but through all he showed that patience and fortitude that is born of a firm faith in the promises of God.
The ceremonies were conducted at the M.E. Church at 10 o'clock this morning, from whence the remains were followed to their final rest.
