ADAM TUCK. A book filled with the records of the lives of good men is 
suggestive of the most precious and important truths. As was said by one famed 
in English literature, such a book is the "precious life-blood of a master 
spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life." They 
serve as potent examples to each succeeding generation, and teach them how to 
make life a success. As a prominent farmer of Will County, Mr. Tuck deserves 
representation in a volume designed to perpetuate the names of her leading 
citizens. His pleasant home, a view of which appears in connection with this 
brief biographical review, is situated on section 33, New Lenox Township. The 
farm consists of eighty acres of fertile land, and bears such improvements as 
are usually found upon the estate of an enterprising man. Coming of worthy 
German ancestry, Mr. Tuck is a son of the late William Tuck and his wife Mary 
Schroder. This estimable couple grew to maturity in the Fatherland, where they 
remained for some time after their marriage. They emigrated to America in 
1852, making their first home in Chicago, but after a short sojourn in that 
city removed to Will County. In Joliet Township, they resided until the spring 
of 1867, when they settled in New Lenox Township, where our subject is now 
living. Here the father departed this life December 7, 1881; his widow is yet 
living and is now making her home in Joliet. The subject of this biographical 
notice is the youngest of the eight children comprising the parental family, 
and was born in Joliet Township, December 4, 1861. He received a good 
practical education in the common schools, and has been chiefly engaged in 
farming during his years of maturity. He has always resided in this county. At 
the home of the bride in Carrolton, Greene County, October 20, 1885, Mr. Tuck 
was united in marriage with Miss Kate Kaffer, a worthy young lady who was born 
in that county. She is a daughter of the late Frank A. Kaffer. Mr. and Mrs. 
Tuck are the parents of two bright children, Frank A. and Florence L. In 
politics Mr. Tuck is a Democrat, and socially, both he and his estimable wife 
are highly respected.
