Located on a 40 acre farm deeded to Brayfield Funeral Home to pay for Emeline Tucker's funeral expenses. It is on private land in the SW corner of the farm, across the road from Horse Prairie Church/Cemetery with no access road. In 2002 all the stones were pushed into a pile.

Miss Emaline Tucker, the only centenarian of Sesser (IL) died at the age of one hundred three years in March 1952. She lived a secluded life on the forty-acre farm near Sesser, which was left to her by her parents. She lived there alone up until a year prior to her death, when she went to a nursing home. Her home was furnished in antique furniture. Sesser School classes made many visits to her home to see the furniture and visit with Miss Tucker, known to them as "Aunt Emaline." Miss Tucker was one of seven children. The youngest child was Mrs. Rebecca Vaughn of Sesser. She is buried in the Tucker Cemetery, which was inaccessible by car. The mourners and body were carried to the cemetery by wagons.

Mary Emaline Tucker, spinster, is the daughter of George Washington and Elizabeth (Robinson) Tucker.
