Samuel C Tucker, which occurred at his home in East Gainesville about 6am Friday morning, after a linger, but patient illness covering a period of several months. Deceased was in his 65th year, his birthday coming last January. Ever since he reached the stage of manhood he had been a useful citizen, being very active in business and npolitics. he was born near Brooksville, but when quite young, removed to this county, and was reared by his uncle, Sampel R Pyles, near Newmansville. At the beginning of the Civil war Capt. Tucker was young and active and, being a loyal southerner, enlisted with Capt. Rowe's company, Second Florida Cavalry, and was assigned to the responsible position of courier. During this great conflict he was present and aided materially in the transmisssion of important messages in several battles, among which was the famous battle of Olustee. At the close of the war, after receiving an honorable parole by the Federal troops, deceased came to Gainesville, where he associated himself in the practice of law with Col M E Thompson, at that time a well-known and successful attorney of this section. After a few years, in 1877, he was appointed sheriff of Alachua county by Gov. Drew, which position he held for four years. The term of office as sheriff having expired, Capt Tucker was no longer an applicant, but accepted a position as conductor on the Seaboard Air Line railroad,then the Florida Railway and Navigation Company, which he held with credit until he was appointed registrar of the United States land office, with headquarters in Gainesville, under the first administration of Grover Cleveland, which position he filled with efficiency and credit. Deceased was married in 1867 to Miss Ella Denton, and five children were born to them. After a number of years his first devoted wife died, when he was later married to Mrs Lois Beville, and to them one son was born. After deciding to give up actual activity in life, the old desire for railroad work returned, and deceased accepted a position as conductor on the Gainesville and Gulf railroad, which position he filled with the greatest efficiency for some time, but was compelled to give up the work he so dearly loved on account of his failing eyesight. Since leaving the Gainesville and Gulf, he had led the quiet life, only looking after his farm when he felt disposed for a little exercise. With the death of Captain Tucker, another of the old and faithful landmarks is gone. Always faithful and loyal to his section and his friends, his friends were numbered by the hundred throughout four counties, and his death, although expected, proved a great blow to his numerous friends and acquaintances. Deceased is survived by a devoted wife and three children, Mrs. A.H. King of Jacksonville, Miss Clara Tucker and Randolph Tucker of this city to whom the sympathy of friends is extended. The funeral will be held this morning at 10 o'clock from the Episcopal church, deceased being a member of that church. The service will be conducted by Rev. Francis H. Craighill. The funeral arrangements will be in charge of Dr. T.F. Thomas, and the following gentlemen are requested to act as pall-bearers, and will report at S.M. Davis' stables at 9 o'clock: J.A. Carlisle, J.W. Patton, W.C. Matheson, W.W. Hampton, John B. Dell, J. Maxey Dell.
