Tho funeral of the late William L.
Tucker. who passed away at his home
in Dolores, Saturday afternoon. was
held at the Methodist church ut 2
o'clock Monday afternoon. Rev. STAN
ley A. Curtis conducted the services.
The church was filed with friends,
many Of whom had known the de-
ceased ever since he came to this part
Of the state. The remains were laid
to rest in the old Dolores cemetery.
Rev. Curtis read the following obituary
William Lafayette Tucker was born
in Dickson county, Tennessee, on March
l9, 1888. Twice before he came to the
age of manhood he changed his place
of residence, first into Illinois, and
later into Texas. Two years were
spent in California; then after some
time again in Texas he came to south
eastern Colorado in 1869. The rest of
his life was spent in various parts of
Southern Colorado and New Mexico.
For thirty-five years he had been in or
- Dolores. and his name has been
- people of Dolores from
L.e A-.ln.-u.. His life came to a
close on May 4. 1918, after enduring
for 80 years, month and Is days.
On July 20. 1865. he was married to
Angeline Wood, at Seatonville, Texas.
To them were born eight children,
three Of whom, two boys and a girl.
died in infancy. Two sons remain.
Norris and Walker of Dove Creek; and
and three daughters. Mrs. Ida Squires
Of Summit Ridge. Mrs. Addie Nc
Kibben Of Mancos, Mrs: Letha Wood
Of Grand Junction. Their presence
win be source of much comfort to
the wife, who after fifty-three years
must again walk alone.
Mr.. Tucker was the oldest citizen Of
our town and one of the Oldest in the
county. The span Of his years covers
. long period of the history of our
country, and practically all of the
history of this great western empire.
That one life could witness such pro-
gress and SO many great events as bis
life had witnessed makes it plain to US
all that time is short. and we must
seize it eagerly, or we shall lose the
opportunity to make it serve us.
