HEMAN W. TUCKER
DIED
TUCKER - At Clarks Mills, Manitowoc Co, Wis., March 28th, 1877, Herman Woodward Tucker, M.D. in the seventy-ninth year of his age.
Dr. Tucker was born at Royalton, Vt., Aug 6th 1798.
At the early age of five years he was left fatherless, and at the age of nine years was thrown upon a cold world to work out his own destiny. Possessed of an active mind, he so improved all his opportunities as to become fitted for teaching at 16 years, and spent the three subsequent years in varied pursuits as teaching and manual labor in his severe struggle to work up to his manhood. At 19 years an hemorrage of the lungs compelled him to desist from the severer occupations of life and he turned his attention to the study of medicine.
In 1823 he graduated from Castleton, Vt., Medical School, took a diploma and a wife -- Miss Laura Watkins, of Poultney, Vt.
His professional life was spent especially in Franklin Co., N.Y. where for 20 years he practiced medicine and earned a reputation for success that placed him high among the practitioners of that part of the State. There also he lost his wife, the mother of his children. Thence he came to Manitowoc County 20 years ago this last December, and here closed his long, worried, weary life of almost fourscore years March 28, 1877.
The Doctor once was a man of professed religious hopes. What turned his heart from his Savior, and changed the cast of his spiritual life, it is impossible for the writer of this to tell. What distorting influences were permitted to come in to give singularity to some features of a life commenced at such terrible disadvantage man cannot know; "and of that life man," as he expressed it near the last moments of his life, "must not judge". It is not without its interest that to the loving hearts of his praying children, who were hanging over the bed of his last sufferings the feeling was given that the Doctor, in some of his last conscious moments, gave expressions implying his sense of the blessedness and joys of a Christian hope.
Of his children one, a son, died in childhood; three daughters are married and live at Clarks Mills; and one remains unmarried, who had made it her home with her father.

The daughters of the late Dr. Tucker take this means to return their heartfelt thanks to the sympathizing friends that aided them in watching over and caring for their father during his last illness and death; who, comforted them with their presence and aid in the burial of their dead; and particularly would they recognize the courtesy of the choir of the Presbyterian Church of Cato for the services rendered on this occasion of their deep affliction.
