Obituary of Samuel Anthony Luckey Sr. 
as written in THE FORT MYERS PRESS, May 28, 1925.  

Fort Myers, Florida.  The funeral services of Samuel Lucky, 80, who died at 
his home on Central avenue at 5:15 yesterday evening, were held at Englehardt's chapel 
this morning at 10 o'clock,  Rev. W. H. Adams officiating.  Burial at Fort Meyrs 
cemetery.  The deceased was one of the pioneer settlers of Fort Meyrs and drove here 
from Orlando, where he was one of the pioneer sawmill men and a man high in business 
circles forty years ago.  He and his family made the trip overland in a wagon.  With his 
arrival in Fort Myes Mr. Lucky began doing work for the county and many bridges in the 
county was constructed by him.  The bridge on the cemetery road has the same 
foundation and underplaning placed there by Mr. Lucky thirty-five years ago.  He was 
one of the first advocates of good roads in the county and lived until he saw his ideas 
_____ and applied by the county.  He was a veteran of the civil war, having served in a 
Confederate regiment.  Mr. Lucky owned a piece of ground at the city limits and farmed 
it successfully.  A few weeks prior to his death he was hale and robust for a man of his 
age and a good conversationalist.  Death was the result of a complication of diseases.  He 
leaves three sons, William A. Lucky, Clifford O. Lucky and Samuel Lucky, Jr., and 
several daughters and many grandchildren.  Englehardt Funeral Home Records
