Notes for INSKIP TUCKER:

Inskip Tucker died May 2, 2902 of old age.  He was born in Virginia and moved to Iowa in 1854, settling in Johnson county, near Iowa City. In 1855 moved to Greene county , and settled on what is known by old settlers as the Adkins farm. in Washinton township, near the Old Coon Valley mill, where he resided until 1857, when he removed with his family to Indiana, where he resided until the Spring of 1863.  He moved back to Iowa, settling in Grant town ship, of the Patrick farm now owned by David Milligan, and near this place he made his home until about four years ago when he sold the old home.  Since then he has been a resident of Jefferson, making his home with his son Henry, his wife having died before he sold the farm.

Inskip was an old settler in Greene county, well respected by all of his neighbors and acquaintances. The funeral services were held at Pleasant Hill church where his body was laid to rest by the side of his wife and companion of his youth and old age.

 

Notes for DICA (DIANA) PERKINS:

Verily this is an era of suicides, mortal, tired either of profitless, hopeless living or so mentally unbalanced that death becomes a coveted condition , to their final account by the awful method of self-destruction.  No section seems to be free from these heart-fending occurrences which break up happy homes and plunge large circles of friends into the very vortex of sorrow.  Last Saturday afternoon this community was shocked by the intelligence that Mrs. Inskip Tucker, a lady quite well-known hereabouts whose husband and sons have been prominently connected with farming interests in Grant township, some three miles south east of the city, had taken her own life by hanging herself in a woodshed close by her residence.  Some months ago this woman was taken to the Insane asylum at Independence, but under an improved metal condition was allowed to return home.  Her family have been fearful lest she should attempt self destruction and have closely watched her movements.  On Friday she seemed unusually solicitous to be by herself, and at one time started to go to a small pond near their house.  When some one of the family joined her, she did not care to go unless she could go alone.  Saturday, forenoon she told her husband she must have some supplies from the city, before noon, and the need seemed so pressing, he dropped his work and came to town.  The errands done, he hurried back to find an empty house, and his wife hanging by the neck, dead beyond recall.  Of course it is now plain to be seen that when the mania to kill herself got possession, she planned to be alone, so that no one should check the dreadful work she had on hand.  The news of the tragic affair spread like wildfire.  When the fact of the death of the wife and mother was fully realized, the grief of the husband---  --- --   --. Friends came in and every thing was done to alleviate their sorrow. The fullest sympathy was extended them in their bitter grief by the entire community.

Notes for MONTANA FITCH:

Ida living at 81423 Norwood, San Miguel, CO, when she died in 1973

In the book, "In the Company of Cowboys," Monte Fitch is mentioned.  According to Jean Leonard, "It has to do with a bet made regarding the possibility of a car's making it up the hill to Norwood from Disappointment Valley.  The Quote:"Dad went on to wager a hundred dollars that he could make the hill.  This bet was promptly covered by a couple of cowboys by the names of MONTE FITCH and John Hart, who were working at the time for the Crutch Outfit owned by John Clay and Company of Kansas City, Missouri.  After putting the mud chains on the car......eventually made it over the top.  Dade collected on his bet."  The 'Dad' referred to was one of the Greager boys."

1930 Census listed Monte with $4000 property in Norwood, San Miguel co., CO dist. 13

Info from Monica (g-granddaughter)

Mont and Ida met in 1918 in Ft. Collins, Co.  Ida was a nurse in Longmont, Co. and was sent to Ft. Colllins to be a special nurse for Mont, who had pneumonia.  they fell in love and were married at Albany Hotel in Denver, Co.  When my grandfather ( Monte Edgar) was born in 1920, Mont and Ida wouldn't stay at the hospital after she delivered and they drove back over the mountains, in the snow in the winter because she was well aware of the dirty conditions in the hospital and would not stay with her newborn.  they lived at 1350 Naturita Rd., Norwood, Co.  The house is there today.  We toured and visited there 2 yrs. ago.  Awesome memories for my Dad and his sisters.  Mont and Ida divided their time between the house in Norwood and their ranch on the Lone Cone in Southwestern CO.  Not far from Norwood.  He had a cattle ranch there and drove cattle from CO to TX.  Their brand on their cattle is the "Cripple Crutch Y".  It is registered in CO still.  My mom hand paints porcelain jewelry and signs her work with that brand.  My dad has the branding iron.

DEATH OF H. C. TUCKER -Bee, 12 Oct. 1921

A telegram received last Saturday evening from Mrs. Eva Tucker at Alameda, Canada, told of the death of her husband, Henry C. Tucker.  For several days previous to that time relatives here were aware of a bad accident which had befallen Mr. Tucker a week or so before.  He had been with a threshing outfit and the mishap occurred about the machinery.  While full details are not at hand The Bee understand his arm was terribly lacerated, much of the flesh being torn off.  Surgeons advised amputation of the arm, but being some distance from a hospital there was some delay and in the meantime blood poisoning developed in the wound, and he grew rapidly worse,  Several telegrams were received here during last week, all bearing information that his condition was very bad.  Mr. Tucker was 60 years of age, .  He came with his parents to Greene county shortly after the close of the Civil War, and settled upon what was afterwards the Henry Adkins farm four miles north and west of Rippey. Mr. Tucker's two brothers, George and Milton reside in Northwestern Nebraska and his two sisters, Mrs. Dorothy Underwood and Mrs. George Gilroy reside in Jefferson. Mr. Tucker was engaged in business in Jefferson until four or five years ago when he traded his property here for a large farm, near Alameda, which he has supervised since that time.  Mrs. Tucker left Alameda Monday evening with the remains, and is expected to arrive here some time tomorrow.  Funeral arrangements will not be made until after she comes    

17th of Oct.- Funeral services for Henry C. Tucker occurred last Thursday morning at St. Joseph's church, with requiem mass.  Burial took place in the Catholic cemetery at Grand Junction.  Mrs. Tucker, who arrived with the remains on Wed., says that Mr. Tucker's injury, which resulted in his death, was hardly more than a scratch at first.  He was helping fix a belt upon the threshing rig, when a knife in the hands of one of the men slipped and cut him upon the wrist, the injury appearing to be only a trivial one.  Although immediate care was given the wound, and proper disinfectants used, he developed blood poisoning, and the best of medical skill failed to curb the trouble, death resulting two weeks after the accident.
