Stucker, a well-known horseman, is supposed to be dying of cancer at his home, North Spring Street. Mr. Stucker for many years has been suffering excruciating pain from the effects of the malady and not only until a few days ago was he compelled to take his bed. At that time Dr. Henning, his physician, was called in, but Mr. Stucker's condition was such that he was beyond the power of professional aid. Still, Dr. Henning attended to the wants of his patient as best he could and afforded only temporary relief. It is thought he cannot survive but a few days longer. Martin Stucker has resided in the city about ten years. He came from Nabb Station where he followed the pursuit of a farmer and numbers among the best known men in the county. Personally, he is an agreeable gentleman and has made many friends who will be grieved to learn of his impending dissolution. He served in the war and is a pensioner.

Bloomington (IN) Weekly Courier, May 9, 1913, p. 1. Nashville, Ind., May 6-Frank P. Taggart, recorder of Brown County, his wife, Ella Taggart, and his brother, Hannibal Taggart, were arrested this afternoon on a charge of murder in the second degree, the victim being Norma Taggart, who died April 12. East gave bond in the sum of $7,500. Norma was the 16-year-old daughter of Hannibal Taggart, a teamster. Her mother died when she was but a child, and since that time her home for the most part has been with relatives. On account of family troubles, she stayed at the home of her father and stepmother only a short time. For almost a year before her death, she had been making her home with her uncle, Frank Taggart, who lived one mile east of town. The day before her death, while Frank Taggart and his wife were in Columbus, Ind., Norma went to the home of Elliott Foreman, a neighboring farmer. When Taggart and his wife returned, they went to the Foreman home where, it is said, the girl cried and begged not to be returned. Foreman refused to let her return and called the sheriff who refused to come. Her father was then notified and, it is said, forced her to return. After she had said that her aunt would kill her, Foreman and neighboring families followed her to the Taggart home where, it is said, the girl was severely punished. Early the next morning the girl died in convulsions. Frank Taggart moved his family from the home where the girl died the day of the funeral. Norma's mother died when she was only six weeks old and left her a large farm in Brown County, and her father was her guardian. The treatment of the girl has been investigated by the court several times, and indignation has been running high in Nashville and Brown County since the girl's death.

Bloomington (IN) Weekly Courier, May 2, 1913, late ed., p. 1. FAME OF BROWN COUNTY ARTIST Gustave Baumann, who has adopted Brown County as his home and who probably is doing more artistic wood engraving than any other artist in American, is at last coming into his own. After two years of seclusion in Brown County, Baumann is a real lion in Chicago art circles at present. His wonderful color prints from wood blocks are now on exhibition at the Palette and Chisel club. Unlike other artists, Baumann went to Brown County to obtain rest and seclusion and not to seek subjects for his art work. He has many friends in Indianapolis who greatly admire his work. A notable example of his talent is to be seen in the illustrations of Riley's poems, published last year.
