Marshall Tucker was a farmer and onetime part-owner of the store at Falls with his brother James. Marshall and James also shared a saw mill business and grain threshing business in the vicinity of Falls, Grant County. In 1903, Marshall lost his left arm in an accident with a corn picker. He served as a Grant County Commissioner for several terms. He and his wife Laura were buried in the family cemetery without headstones.
The above information and all photos are from our family historian, Gary Tucker, PhD. He also originally created this memorial, as well as many others dedicated to our Tucker family.
Below is Marshall's eulogy from the Grant County Press, courtesy of Diane Flanagan.
"We may not realize, perchance, what a friend and neighbor means to us until seas and mountains separate us from the loved ones--perchance, not until sickness and misfortune come, but when some tie is snapped and some link is broken and some chair is vacant at the fireside by the cold hands of the Grim Reaper then we realize how sadness hovers it's cloud over a home where a father, husband and friend is missing today.
Just such home ties were broken when the messenger of Death made it's call and took from our midst Marshall B Tucker, of near Falls, this county, on the morning of June 13th, 1911.
It is seldom that a death causes such wide spread and genuine grief in a community as was occasioned throughout this section when the news was circulated that Marsh Tucker was dead. Mr. T was born in this community on November the 15th, 1856, and has lived here all his life and he was known and recognized as a man of intelligence, and his justice and his counsel was sought and accepted.
By those who need sympathy and help Mr. Tucker will be missed, and in the death of this good man the county has lost a valued and industrious citizen, the home a tender and devoted husband and father, and the neighborhood a faithful friend, but he has left us the memory of a well spent and useful life.
We told a friend in an adjoining county of his death and with whom he had many business transactions and he said, 'Marsh Tucker was an honest man and I know I shall miss him. His home was the most hospitable I have ever visited.'"
The deceased is survived by his wife, who before marriage was Miss Grove, besides three daughters and three sons.
Rev. I. S. Landstreet, pronounced a very appropriate and touching eulogy at the home on Thursday morning, after which the remains were interred in the family cemetery, near the home in the presence of a large number of friends from all over the county.
