Samuel A. Stuckey, a native of Berkeley County, VA., where he was born Jan, 19, 1843, left the Old Dominion for Logan County, Ill in 1874, and from there two years later came to Kansas, and purchased 200 acres of land on section 9 and 16, in Minneha Township. Here since that time he has operated successfully as a farmer and stock grower, having one of the most desirable homesteads in this section, and an assortment of livestock, which will compare favorably with anything of the kind in the township. He came at a time when the reliable and enterprising man was most needed, and has furnished his full quota of assistance in building up the eastern part of the county. Mr. Stuckey received a common-school education, and remained at his father's farm until the outbreak of the late Rebellion, when he enlisted for three years during the war, in Company E, 2d Virginia Infantry. He was in many general engagements, including the battle at Winchester, where he was wounded in the neck, and the first battle of Fredericksburg, where he was wounded in the breast. At home he was captured by the Union troops, and confined a prisoner at Camp Chase, Ohio for eight months. He was on patrol at the closing of the war, and after being mustered out of service returned to his old home in the South, and on the 7th of November, 1875, was married to Miss Fanny Larkins, who was born in Shenandoah County, VA. April 17, 1847. Her parents, Andrew and Rebecca Larkins, were natives of Maryland and Virginia. The former is dead and the latter now resides in Ohio. Mr. Stuckey was accompanied by his family in his removals, first to Illinois and subsequently to Kansas. He is the father of five children. Mr. Stuckey politically votes the straight Democratic ticket but has very little to do with public affairs, confining his attention to farming.

.....report of the Second Virginia regiment on the battle of Fredericksburg, fought Dec 13, 1862: The regiment left camp near Guineas Depot at 6am on the 12th instant, marched to Hamilton's Crossing
.....No sooner had I gotten into position than they opened a heavy fire of musketry and artillery, to which the regiment replied rapidly and effectively, men and officers standing to their posts and doing their duty as only veterans know how. I rejoice to be able to say that there but a few men in the regiment who disgraced the name of soldier.
...During the entire four days of exposure, suspense, and danger, both officers and men evinced the true spirit of patriots and soldiers. I cannot but feel proud of the honor of having commanded such men.
Respectfully submitted, J.Q.A. Nadenbousch, Captain, commanding Second Regiment Virginia Infantry.
