Marion Co. FINLEY SHUCK, commonwealths attorney for the judicial district embracing Marion, Washington, Nelson, Taylor, La Rue [sic] and Mercer Counties, was born on the 10th of December, 1842. His father, John Shuck, who was one of the finest orators as well as ablest lawyers of central Kentucky, was born in Marion County in 1807. He was deprived of the advantages of collegiate education, his privileges in that respect covering a period of six months attendance in a common school. Being possessed, however, of great native energy, by personal application he acquired a good knowledge of books, and became thoroughly versed in the current literature of the day. When eighteen years old he began the study of the law, and two years later was regularly admitted to the bar, after which he practiced successfully for a third of a century. In 1862, ten years prior to his death, he received a paralytic stroke, which compelled his retirement from the busy practice of his former life. He was married in Franklin, Ky., to Lucretia C. Finley, daughter of J. C. Finley. She was born in 1811 and is now living. Their children are Joseph, Octavia (Harrison), Susan (deceased wife of J. R. Thomas), Mollie (deceased), Fannie (Corley), Finley and Minnie M. McAfee. Finley Shuck, a native of Marion County, was admitted to the practice of law in 1863. In 1882 he was appointed to the position of attorney for the commonwealth, to fill the unexpired term of Hon. Thomas Robinson; he was elected to the same office in 1883, and re-elected in 1886. He was married, in 1879, to Miss Hattie H. Heffernan, of Louisville, Ky., and has two children, viz.: Marie and David Finley Shuck. The paternal grandparents of Finley Shuck were John and Mary Shuck, who came from Pennsylvania to Kentucky in 1799, the grandfather having served as a soldier in the Revolutionary War.
