Aged 73y 3m 12d; born in Maryland
Mr. E. G. Tucker died on Wednesday morning, Feb. 3, at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. A. Nebinger, aged 73 years. Mr. Tucker was born in Baltimore in 1818. He moved to Decatur in 1865 and resided there up to 1883, when he moved to this city. He had been an Odd Fellow for many years, having joined the order when in its infancy. He was personally acquainted with Thomas Wildey, the founder of the order. He prided himself on being present at the ceremony and witnessing the first spade of earth turned up towards building a railroad westward. He was elected justice of the peace of North Springfield, which office he held up to the time he moved into the city. He always took a deep interest in politics, and was well informed on important events of the country. His friends were numbered by the score. He had a warm and generous heart; his hand, as well as his purse, was always open in distress. He leaves five sons and one daughter, his wife having died four years ago. They are W. R. Tucker, James Tucker, Henry Tucker and Mrs. A. Nebinger, of this city; George B. Tucker of Decatur, and Howard Tucker of Chapin.
Decatur lodge No. 5, I.O.O.F., to which he belonged, have appointed a committee to attend his funeral, which will take place at the residence of his daughter. Friends of the deceased and of the family are invited to attend. IL State Register, Springfield, Il 2-4-1892
