March 13th, 1883, Mr Joseph Tarpley Tucker, at Seale, Russell county, Alabama from an over dose of morphine. He was born in Hancock county, Ga., May 7th, 1820 and should he have lived to his next birth day would have been 63 years old.
In the spring of 1844 he was happily married to Miss Jane Cooksey, of Russell county, Ala., where they have lived devotedly together ever since. They raised seven children--five sons and two daughters all grown and married, except one son and are all residents of their native county--save one daughter who resides near Goodwater, this State.
He was a devoted husband, kind and affectionate father a good neighbor and was certainly an exemplary; contending earnestly for the right, for honesty and straight forwadnes[sic]--he was one who believed honesty to be the ground work of religion--honesty was undoubtedly his standard through life.
Our true and tried friend we shall not forget while memory claims her own. His burial was largely attended by his large circle of relatives, friends and acquaintances. Thus the aged are passing away and but few are taking their places.
