S. H. TUCKER
S. H. Tucker is a resident on section 11, Noble Township, where he has improved and fenced his land, and has erected a frame house, which is of great beauty to his place. He was born in Tippecanoe county, Indiana, on the 25th of March, 1835, and is the son of Mason and Lou A. (Huff) Tucker. His father was a native of Ohio, and his mother a native of Kentucky. In 1842, the family came to Iowa, and settled in Des Moines county, where S.H. grew to manhood. In 1860, he returned to Tippecanoe county, and there enlisted in company G, Fortieth Indiana Infantry, and served in 1866, during which time he participated in several of the principal battles of the army. After his discharge he settled in Des Moines county, and there remained until 1872, when he came to Cass county. Mr. Tucker was married, in 1871 to Rebecca W. Kirby, of Ohio. Three children have been born to them -- Cora, Ella and Ida.
