TUCK, one of the pioneer women of the Vegas Valley, was found dead Thursday afternoon about two o'clock, on a cot in a building in the rear of the family residence on Third street in this city. An examination by a physician under the direction of the coroner disclosed the fact that death resulted from natural causes. No inquest was deemed necessary. The deceased left surviving her John W. TUCK, her husband, and one son, John W. TUCK, Jr., to whom we extend our sympathy in their sad loss. Mrs. Anson SMITH of Kingham, Arizona, a sister of Mrs. TUCK arrived here today. The funeral will take place from the residence on Third street Sunday afternoon at 2:00. LAS VEGAS AGE 4/19/1913 AT REST The funeral services over the remains of Mrs. John W.
