A Virginian by birth and a Tailor by trade, he came to Hillsboro about 1828, set up a shop for himself where he soon demonstrated the fact that he was the neatest crook and the most fashionable Tailor of the town.
George was stout, well-made, independent in spirit and proud of his profession.
Deficient in education, but possessing good natural abilities, he had a good, keen eye for the beautiful in poetry and for eloquence in prose, which he frequently evinced in selecting articles of the one or the other, which he would exhibit with the highest admiration.
His ideas on the subject of religion were rather of a mild and liberal character and in no instance was he ever known to show the bigot or the dogmatist.
Rather more disposed to the theory of Universalism than any other, he frequently argued in its favor and perhaps in the after years of his life adopted that system of faith as the most reasonable hope of his destiny.
Gentlemanly in deportment and kind in spirit, he maintained the reputation of an honest man and a clever neighbor.
(Researcher's note: It is not known who wrote this article for the newspaper, but the narrative continues on...)
In my first preaching through Highland county, George as we always called him, used to ride out with me now and then of a Sunday morning to my appointments. He enjoyed the ride, listened well to my efforts, and as we returned would criticize my language, gestures and doctrines, with very considerable enjoyment to himself and no doubt profit to me.
On one occasion he went with to me to Father Fitzpatrick's. The congregation was large and the crowd filled the house and yard. I stood in the door and preached my sermon, and then called upon Father Fitzpatrick to conclude. George, with others was sitting on the fence and after talking and spitting a little while, "the old man eloquent" liked to have knocked George off the fence by saying, "Hold on until I get this chaw tobacco out of my mouth and I will give a gospel blow at them sinners on the fence there."
No man had a better relish for the ridiculous than Tucker and he did not recover from Father Fitzpatrick's natural eloquence for months.
For many years whenever I made a visit "home" which endeared domestic title, I have always given to Hillsboro, I always was warmly greeted by George W. Tucker. He was my friend and would always make one in my congregation if I preached a sermon while there.
I do not know when he died, but I remember that my sister wrote of his death and since that she was told that he frequently asked to see me when he was on his dying pillow.
Honor to his virtues, charity and peace to his memory.
