I believe this tintype, found among his son's effects, shows Stillman Tucker. Stillman was born in Windsor, Bernard Township, Vermont; married Margaret Loy, August 10, 1852, Warren county, Ohio; died November 16, 1856, Freeport, Stephenson County, Illinois. Stillman Tucker was the son of Robert Tucker and Sarah Foster Tucker of Windsor, Vermont.

This obituary is from a newspaper but does not give the newspaper's name or the date of publication. The places mentioned in the obituary without mentioning a state are evidently in Ohio.

Stillman Tucker was a native of Vermont, was an elder in the church of Lower Liberty six years, was also an elder in the church of Central College, while pursuing his studies there under the care of the Presbytery of Franklin, as a candidate for the mininstry, and was licensed to preach in April, 1850. He preached to the churches of Liberty and Little Mill Creek, and was ordained by the Presbytery in April, 1852. He continued his labors in Little Mill Creek church about a year, then supplied the church of Ashley two years, moved to Linn Co., Iowa, in 1855, as a Home Missionary, and died in afflictive circumstances, while from home seeking medical aid, at Freeport, Ill., Nov. 16, 1856. He had been dismissed from the Presbytery, but had not joined any other ecclesiastical body. He was a good man and a devoted Christian minister. H. S.
