HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE ARTICLE ON JOHN B. TUCKER

John B. Tucker, a prominent representative citizen of this county, is a 
resident of Union City, where he has been successfully engaged in business, and 
is Vice President of the Farmers' National Bank.  

Mr. Tucker was born in Griswold, New London Co., Conn., Sept. 28, 1811, and was 
there reared until about twenty years of age on the farm of his father, who 
followed agricultural pursuits.  Young Tucker then started out in life for 
himself, and engaged as clerk in a general store in his native town, and after 
about three years' experience he removed to Pittsfield, Mass., where he engaged 
as .......   then to Constantia, Oswego Co., N.Y......  In 1838 he directed his 
steps westward, and coming to Calhoun County, in this State, he settled in 
Burlington, where, for the next five years, he was engaged in mercantile 
business on his own account.  He then returned to New England, but remaining 
there only a short time, he went to Syracuse, N.Y., where he resided eighteen 
months.  Mr. Tucker then once more retraced his steps to Michigan, and coming 
to Union City was employed as clerk for a furnace company, with which he 
remained five years.  He next purchased a mill property consisting a saw and 
grist mill, which he operated from 1852 to 1869.  

The subject of this biography was married in Burlington, Calhoun County, to 
Miss Ermina Cutter, who was born in New Hampshire and spent her early life in 
Springfield, Vt.  Their union has been blessed by the birth of three children, 
who are recorded as follows:  Ermina T. is the wife of A.C. Nichols, of 
Lansing; Fanny A. became the wife of C.M. Hall, of Union City, and Charles C. 
is engaged in general merchandising in Union City.

Mr. Tucker is a member of the Congregational Church, in which he has held the 
offices of Trustee and Deacon, and is a worthy and consistent member.  Mrs. 
Tucker is also a member of the Congregational Church.
