The following from a 1904 Nance County, Nebraska, newspaper clipping file, transcribed by Linda Berney:
"Tuck" Thayer, once a saloon keeper in Fullerton over 20 years ago, died at Cedar Rapids recently. The Greeley Leader says: When it was reported last Friday morning that "Tuck" Thayer, one of the best known citizens in the county and an old settler, had been found dead in a hotel at Cedar Rapids, where he had gone on Wednesday to consult Dr. Burgess for an ailment in his left side, people hardly believed it and when his neighbors came to town Saturday they were eagerly questioned, but they had not heard of it, and it was not until in the early evening that the report was confirmed.
