[DIED: MR. N. T. TUCKER, WINFIELD.]
Winfield Courier, Thursday, June 19, 1873.
DIED. TUCKER. At his residence in Winfield, Cowley County, Kansas, June 4th, 1873, Mr. N. T. Tucker, aged 59.
Mr. Tucker was born near Hartford, Connecticut, May 2nd, 1814. At the age of 8 years he removed with his parents to Erie County, Ohio, where he remained most of the time for 48 years. There he became a member of the Presbyterian church, and lived a devoted Christian life. During this time his parents, brothers, and sisters were all called from the scenes of earth by the pale-faced messenger of Death, and he was left to mourn, and to suffer many misfortunes. Suffering much from bodily pain as well as bereavements in his own family circle, yet he bore it all with meek submission, exhibiting a spirit of Christian faith and child-like confidence.
In November, 1870, he immigrated with his family to Kansas, hoping that the change might be beneficial to his health. But here, too, tender ties were severed. The joy and delight of his declining years was taken from his embrace, and the combined weight of mental and physical pain bore him down with increased rapidity.
Mrs. N. T. Tucker...
Winfield Courier, Thursday, July 24, 1873.
Mrs. N. T. Tucker would respectfully solicit the patronage of all who desire sewing done, of any kind. She has a first class machine and will do stitching (when ready prepared) for one cent per yard. Tailoring will be made a specialty. Dry Goods and Groceries taken for work.

Mrs. (?) Tucker, Winfield...
Winfield Courier, May 3, 1877.
The town was startled by two alarms of fire yesterday. The wind blew stiff from the south and the cry of “fire” was a thrilling signal. The fire company had the engine and ladders bearing upon the smoking roof of Mrs. Bradish’s dwelling in exactly ten and one half minutes from the time of the alarm. The smoke came from a burning chimney that allowed the smoke to pass into the gable of the roof; hence the alarm. The second fire was more serious. Between 4 and 5 p.m., another fire alarm was sounded and the fire company with engine and ladders were only three minutes in getting to the house of Mrs. Tucker and turning loose upon it with their chemicals. Flames and smoke were bursting from every door and window of the house before anything was done to save it, but the little giant and a hundred willing, active hands subdued the flames and saved the house. The damage to furniture and inside woodwork probably amounts to one hundred dollars.

Foster Tucker...
[GRAND PRAIRIE SCHOOL CORRESPONDENT: “BUCK I.”]
Winfield Courier, December 27, 1877. Front Page.
MR. EDITOR: As you seem so anxious to get all the news in the county, I am going to tell you a few things from this part of the vineyard. First, we have just completed our schoolhouse. It is 20 x 26 feet, well built and furnished throughout. It was built by T. A. Wilkinson and cost the District $500 in bonds, payable in one, two, three, four, and five years, with interest.
At a meeting of the citizens of the district for the purpose of accepting the house, it was decided to call it Grand Prairie schoolhouse, and to dedicate it with a grand supper, which was done last Friday evening, the 30th ult. Oh, ye gods! what a supper there was. “Big turkey, little turkey, and all, and the charge on that table beat Russians, Bashi Bazouks, or anybody else. I shall not attempt to describe it. It was a wild scene.” Everybody was there. The ridge was out in force and the wharf rats from the little washouts on Timber and Grouse Creeks seemed ready to fulfill the scriptural quotation of “behold and wonder and perish,” but they didn’t do it. They are used to eating when they can get it.
The district was well represented by Messrs. Burden, Barr, Hollowell, Savage, and others. Among those from abroad were Dr. Snyder, of Lazette, who made some very appropriate remarks. Add Smith tried to fatten his family but failed. The most prominent feature was Foster Tucker with the hock joint of a turkey standing up from his coat pocket.
John F. Tucker...

O. P. Tucker???...
[COMMUNICATION FROM “WALNUT HILL” - EAST OF THE WALNUT.]
Arkansas City Traveler, February 6, 1878.
Wheat in this vicinity is looking well, and the largest portion of the corn is in the crib.
We have a lyceum over here that meets once every week, and the knowledge and talent displayed on these occasions is truly wonderful. Tucker is about head since we christened him Osman Pasha Tucker, but we fear he was captured the other night. Gen. Shearer is President, and he handles the concern equal to a corporal with his squad of eight.

[REPORT FROM “TRAVELER” AT GROUSE CREEK.]
Winfield Courier, May 22, 1879.
Crossing Grouse creek at Benderville, I spent sometime in company with several others examining the banks. Here are excellent indications for coal. Several small veins have been discovered in the vicinity. Time and means may develop rich paying coal fields deeper down in terra firma.
On the west side of the river lays the farm of Mr. Morris, of Black Hills fame. He has just finished building a large stone barn, costing I am informed, from $600 to $800. Here I may state that the Grouse valley between Lazette and Dexter contains more and better barns and stables than any other part of the country, some of the stone buildings costing many hundred dollars more than the one above mentioned.
To the south of this place lays the farm of George Gardenhire. This farm has been under the charge of Mr. Tucker, the pedagogue of this school district. He seems to be a success, both as farmer and teacher, a young man of good acquirements and excellent ability.

Mr. (?) Tucker, Winfield...
Cowley County Courant, March 16, 1882.

DIED. Mr. John Service died at about half past eleven Saturday, March 11, 1882. His death was caused by heart disease. Mr. Service had been at Wellington with Mr. Platter assisting in some reli­gious meetings and returned on the 6 o’clock morning train. He was feeling in better health than for some time past and had no premonitory symptoms of the disease which carried him off. He was sawing wood in the yard in the rear of the house of Mr. Tucker, where he was boarding, when he felt a severe pain in his side, and entering the house laid down upon the bed and died within fifteen minutes. This news will startle our citizens who were acquainted with Mr. Service. He has long been a resident of this city and county and was one of our most prominent citizens. He had many friends and was held in universal respect for his Christian character and upright life. He was an ardent worker in the cause of temperance, and a leading member of the Presbyterian church. He possessed considerable property interests here and had always labored for the advancement of the city and county.
His sudden and startling death will be deeply regretted. We were personally acquainted with him and knew him for a man of many virtues and few faults, and it is with pain that we record his removal from our midst. The suddenness of his death in­creased the feeling of solemnity among our citizens and brings forcibly to our mind the realization that life is of a most uncertain and transient character. Mr. Service leaves a sister, the only member of the family now living, who is well known in this community for her deeds of charity. In this hour of be­reavement, she has the sympathy of the entire community.
