destroyed by fire early yesterday morning about 3:30 o,clock, and before the
house was fully consumed Captain Tucker dropped dead suddenly. The fire
broke out at the kitchen end of the building and is supposed to have caught
from the usually defective flue. The neighbors responded promptly to the
alarm, and by their help nearly all the furniture and household goods were
taken from the house and placed nearby on the ground. The heat grew so
intense as the dry house burned that it was thought best to move the
furniture further still from the conflagration, and scarcely had the
suggestion been made and the work of removal begun than the fatal stroke cut
down the man whose house was then going up in fire and smoke. The excitement
and heat of the burning building overcame the victim of the fire, and to the
horror of all, the lifeless form of their neighbor and friend lay prostrate
before the excited crowd. The shocking occurrence has cast a gloom over the
entire community, no such calamity ever visiting that excellent neighborhood
in its previous history. The remains of Captain Tucker were laid to rest
yesterday afternoon in the old family burying ground on the Tucker place,
north of Lake Creek on the Rome road, a large crowd of friends and relatives
witnessing the sad interment. Captain Tucker was a well known citizen of
that community, having lived there for many years, and was over fifty years
old. He was a faithful Confederate soldier, and always prided himself on his
war record. He was Justice of the Peace in that district, and was always
prominent in political and county affairs. His numerous friends throughout
the county will be pained to learn of his sudden death. (Cedartown Standard,
