Andrew Dow Tucker 

Andrew Dow Tucker was born in Franklin county, Arkansas, June 29, 1873, 
and died at the home of his mother, Mrs. W. J. Tucker, on East D avenue 
Monday morning, April 11, 1932. He was stricken as he was asleep with a 
cerebral hemmorhage from which he never rallied. 

Funeral services were conducted Tuesday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock at the 
chapel by John T. Lauderdale of Saint Jo, Texas, a family friend since 
1895. Interment was in the Waurika cemetery. 

When but a child Mr. Tucker came to Texas with his parents, later coming 
to what is now Jefferson county and locaitng near Petersburg fifty years 
ago. Thus he has been one of the pioneers of the county. 

Mr. Tucker was married to Miss Mary Norris in 1892, and to this union four 
children were born, the three surviving being W. G. Tucker, Mrs. George 
Murphy and Mrs. Frank Sanders all of Omtario (Ontario) California. 

Aside from the three children Mr. Tucker is survived by his aged mother, 
with whom he made his home, two brothers, Dave, of Waurika, and R. J., of 
Sudan Texas and four sisters, Mrs. C. H. Davidson of this city, Mrs. J. D. 
Hunter of Dallas, and Mrs. S. D. Daily and Mrs. Ivan white of Pomona, 
California, besides a host of nephews and nieces and other relatives and 
friends. 

Mr. Tucker had lived in California for a number of years and also had 
spent several years of his later life in Texas. Three years ago he came 
back to Waurika and has since lived here with his mother by whom he will 
be sadly missed. He has been in ill health for the past several years 
having suffered a stroke of paralysis four years ago while living in 
California. 

Out of town relatives here for the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Hunter, 
of Dallas; Mr. and Mrs. Hardy Watson, Jr., and daughter, Kathryn Ann, Mrs. 
L. A. Armstrong and Hackell Davidson, of Oklahoma City.
