SUSAN TUCKER TAKEN BY DEATH AT HOME TODAY
Aged Resident of Washington Seriously Ill Short Time
Mrs. Susan Allen Tucker, 87, for many years a resident of Washington,
died this morning at 2:10 o'clock at her home, 702 S.W. First street,
death coming after a serious illness of four days. Death of the aged
resident was attributed to general debility. She had been in failing
health for months, but not until four days ago did her condition become
critical. Little hope had been held for her recovery since then. Born
in North Carolina on July 18, 1846, the deceased spent a few years there
before coming to Washington. She was married to John Wm. Tucker who died
in Feb. of 1886. She is survived by four children, Mrs. Patrick Kelly
of Washington, Mrs. Charles Hamer of Princeton, Daniel Tucker of Washington
and Alvis Tucker of Thebes, Ill. There are three grandchildren and five
great-grandchildren. There are no brothers or sisters. The deceased for
many years had lived in the same residence where she died and she was
widely and favorably known in Washington. She was a member of the United
Brethren Church. Funeral services for Mrs. Tucker will be held Friday
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the United Brethren Church with Rev. J.W.
McMurtry in charge. Burial will be made in Oak Grove Cemetery. Elwood
Williams will have charge of the funeral
