  Tuckley, Henry, D.D., was born in England, and received his education 
in public and private schools.
  He was converted at sixteen years of age, but was not steadfast. 
After coming to the United States in 1871 he renewed his covenant with 
God, under the influence of Rev. Thomas Collett, pastor of the Raper 
Methodist Episcopal Church, in Dayton, O. This church gave him 
exhorter's license, and not long after local preacher's license. His 
first work in the ministry was as supply on a circuit in Kentucky 
having seven appointments, under the eldership of Rev. Benjamin A. 
Stubbins. After serving this appointment eight months he was 
reluctantly released to take work in the Cincinnati Conference. He 
joined the Cincinnati Conference in 1875. In the same year he married 
Miss Mary Susanna Smith, of Hartwell, Hamilton County, O.
  In 1894 he received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Grant 
University.
  During the past twenty years he has written extensively for a 
syndicate of influential newspapers on Church affairs, and the three 
years spent abroad were largely occupied in writing for a syndicate of 
American newspapers on social, economic, and political affairs in 
England, France, and Germany. The Methodist Book Concern has published 
the following books from his pen: Life's Golden Morning, Masses and 
Classes, Forward March, In Sunny France, Under the Queen, The Latter-
Day Eden, and Questions of the Heart. Besides the above he has 
published memorial volumes of Rev. William Nast Brodbeck, of Boston, 
and Rev. William Rice, of Springfield, Mass.
  His pastoral record is as follows: Cincinnati Conference, 1875-76, 
Hartwell and Carthage, O.; 1876-78, St. John's, Cincinnati, O.; 1878-
80, Delhi, O.; 1880-83, Christie, Cincinnati, O.; 1883-84, sy. for year
