Mary (Meyer) Kuck – January 7, 1837 – May 31, 1879

Died: - In this city, May 31, 1879, of paralytic convulsions, Mary, wife of John Kuck, aged 42 years, 4 months, 28 days.

Since last December the hand of death has been laid heavily on the family of Mr. Kuck. Five beloved children, in quick succession, were followed to the tomb, all taken away by that fatal disease, diphtheria.

Two sons Henry and George, are all that are left of that happy band of young hearts. Once more the dark angel has visited the stricken household, and the mother, best beloved of all, is gone forever. Mrs. Kuck had been a member of the German M.E. Church for more than twenty years, and died in full and happy faith of a brighter home beyond the stars. The funeral was held at 3 o'clock, Sunday afternoon, and there was a very large attendance, about eighty teams joining in the procession.
