Family Ancestry Notes:
Notes for INSKIP TUCKER: Inskip Tucker died May 2, 1902 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. |
