"Mr. G. W. Tucker Dead.
The sad intelligence was received here last Sunday about dark of the death of Mr. G. W. Tucker, which occurred at his home in Pratt City at 2:30 a.m. Sunday , after a lingering illness.
The deceased gentleman was well known in Seale, having been born and reared near here. In early life he professed a saving faith in Christ and was received into the fellowship of the Baptist church at this place. He was an honest, honorable gentleman, as all who knew him will give willing testimony. The latter years of his life were what to many men would have been a sacrifice, but which to him was a loving tribute to his aged widowed mother. He devoted his time to the care of her till she passed away, about twenty months ago, and left him alone; and last January he was married, and his wife and three brothers—Messrs. W. A. L. Tucker, of Seale, J. H. Tucker, of Atlanta, and N. Tucker, of Pratt City, and one sister—Mrs. L. M. Lacy [sic], of Pratt City, and other more distant relatives are left to mourn his loss.
The deceased was yet a young man comparatively, having just past [sic] his forty-first year, and his death seems sadder than if he had lived out the three score and ten allotted to men, and then lay down to rest. But he has paid the debt that all must pay; he has lived his life—and it was not a useless one, for he was a comfort and a blessing to many—and has gone to meet his reward at the hands of a just God.
May his death be sanctified to the good of those left behind; may they feel that God is God, and that He doeth all things well; that all things, whatsoever, that He doeth work together for good to them that love Him, to them that are called according to His purpose. May His Presence and His Spirit be with them and uphold and sustain them in this sad hour and through the lives before them."
