On the insistence, William Booth required the men who married his daughters to add their wife's maiden name to his own. Therefore, Frederick became Booth-Tucker.

Returning to India, they resumed their ministering to the multitudes suffering, both physically and spiritually. Due to Emma’s poor health, the couple returned to London where they worked for the Salvation Army International Headquarters in London before being posted to the United States in 1896, where they replaced Emma's brother Ballington and his wife Maud who had left the Salvation Army. They successfully managed to regain many of the converts lost by Ballington Booth's leaving, and Emma Booth-Tucker was given the title 'The Consul' by her father. The Booth-Tucker's primary work was prison visitation and carrying out the farm colony experiment for urban poor envisaged in William Booth's book In Darkest England and the Way Out.
While returning from one of those farm colonies on 28 October 1903, at the age of 43, Commissioner Booth-Tucker died of a fractured skull and internal injuries in a train accident, returning to Chicago, where she was to meet her husband. She was the only person on the entire train to lose her life. Her funeral service was held at the Carnegie Music Hall in New York on 1 November 1903, and she was buried at the Woodlawn Cemetery in that city.
Emma Booth-Tucker died leaving a husband and six children. She was succeeded in her work in the United States by her younger sister Evangeline Booth.
