Tucker gave up the battle of life and passed over the great beyond last Friday morning, surrounded by the devoted husband and seven children whose loving attention has been untiring since she was stricken. Funeral services were held at the Methodist church Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. Hicks officiating. A large crowd was present to pay honor to the citizens whose many redeeming virtues and Christian traits of charactrer had been hubly and meekly impresssed on the entire community. True sympathy is extended the devoted husband and, those left to mourn with him the absence of a self sacrificing, mother, whose constant aim in life was to provide a happy home for those she loved.
