JOHN w. TUCKER.
Another Fine Citizen and Good Man
Called to His Reward.

/ The death of John w. Tucker, t,
which reference was made in tn
Chiefs issue of the 14th ultimo, wa
cause of widespread and most sin
cere regret throughout this communi
| ty, where Mr.. Tucker resided nearl,
four decades and enjoyed the respect
esteem and affectionate regard O
all vino knew him.
AS the elimination of q protractet
illness, he passed away at $3.50 o'clocl
IN the evening of Sunday, April
1917, at his residence in Baton Rouge
and his remains were laid to rest il
Magnolia Cemetery, that city, the fol
lowing afternoon, with his relative:
and intimate friends, DR.. ]. A. Tuck
er, c. J. Tucker, Henry C. Braud, j
B. Pittman, Guy Hunt and R. A. Stat
ford, acting as pallbearers.
John w. Tucker was born in Milan
Gibson county, Tenn, seventy years
ago, and came to Louisiana January
l, 1874. He spent four years on Con.
way plantation, two years on Donald
son, one year on Riverton and thirty
years on New Hope, making total
Of thirty-seven years on the four
places, all located in this parish and
forming part of the extensive sugar
estate of the Miles Planting and Man
ufacturing Company, formerly owned
by the late John Burnside and after
him by the late Oliver Beirne. Be-
ginning his plantation career in a
subordinate capacity, Mr.. fuckers
industry, ability and skill, coupled
with an admirable capacity for the eff
ficient direction and control Of labor,
brought him into the front rank of
Louisiana's best managers Of sugar
producing properties. It is doubtful
if the state has ever known two more
capable or successful men in this line
of work than the brothers James K.
and John w. Tucker, and few com
munities anywhere can boast the pos
session of two better citizens.
Six years ago John w. Tucker NOV
ed to Baton Rouge, where he resided
for the remainder Of his life. He was
married January 7, 1879, at Milan,
Tenn, to Miss Fannie Hunt, who sur
wives him with their two daughters,
Mrs. Norman Guice and Mrs. H. R.
Kicks, and five grandchildren. He is
also survived by his elder brother,
James K. Tucker, of Baton Rouge.
Always manifesting an earnest
though unobtrusive interest in public
affairs and community welfare, John
w. Tucker never sought Office, but
was prevailed on to serve as a mem
Der of the police jury of Ascension
parish for the first wardGhl ring two
terms Of four years. He Was always
prompt and interchangeable in respond
ing to calls for such work for the
common benefit as levee maintenance,
crevasse closing, road and school i'm
provement, and his kindly and char
liable disposition led to the perform
ance of many good deeds of which no
public record was made or sought.
He was for many years stakeholder
and director of the Donaldsonville Ice
Company, Ltd, and held membership
on the board of directors at the time
of his death. The resolutions of that
body, published in this paper four
weeks ago, pay an eloquent and we'll
merited tribute to the career and
Of our lamented fellow citi
zen and friend.
Peace to the ashes and repose to
the gentle soul of John w. Tucker!
