Died.
At her residence at 2 o'clock Wednesday morning, March 21, 1888, of paralysis, Mrs. Lucinda Tucker, wife of Rufus Tucker, aged 64 years, 4 months and 29 days. Funeral services were held in the Congregational church Thursday at 2 p.m., Dr. G.E. Burdick, the Baptist pastor, preaching the sermon and Rev. W.A. Bosworth and Rev. Dr. T.H. Ayars of the Congregational church assisting.
Mrs. Tucker was of New England parentage, having been born in Webster, Mass. Her maiden name was Cody, and she took great pride in searching out and preserving her genealogy. In her old Bible she has a ver complete record of her ancestral line; a large part of the list is also tastefully wrought into a tdy bearing date 1847.
In health, she had been a person of much intelligence, invincible will and untiriing energy, and evern during her illness and up to her last moments, she was generous to a fault. For 35 years she was a professing Christian, at first in the Methodist denomination, but since they, and for a long period, her membership has been with the Baptist church. She took a practical relationship and as much as able, contributed of her means for the support of public worship, which she so much enjoyed and perhaps the most painful part of her last illness was that she was deprived of attending such services. Her church sympathies, though denominational, were not sectarian, as was seen in her leaving a sum of money to be divided equally between her own church, the Baptist, and the Congregational church of which her children, Mr. and Mrs. John Snyder, of this place are members.
Her Christian faith, steadfast and unshaken, gave her great support in her long suffering. From this suffering she welcomed the moment of her departure as sweet relief as she pointed heavenward and long to be at rest. This rest is now hers. She is now with her Master. "He giveth his beloved sleep."
