General Notes: Husband - John Tucker

---

He was a successful farmer and stock raiser and was engaged in that business continuously since his school days ended. He spent most of his life in Hanover Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, owning valuable land here. The discovery of oil on his property served to increase his income. He had four producing wells which flowed seven barrels of oil daily. Mr. Tucker was a Republican in his political principles. He was always ready to perform any duty that good citizenship demanded, except to serve in public office, to which he had such a repugnance that he asserted that he would pay a fine rather than be compelled to recede from his determination in this respect.
