The Harrodsburg Herald, Harrodsburg, Kentucky

Thursday, May 30, 1907

Last Saturday the soul of one of the most venerable and best known women in the community passed into the beyond.  Mrs. Martha A. Tucker was one of the few older citizens left here, and in years gone by, before age came upon her, she was one of the most prominent women in social and church work here.  Her health had been slowly failing for sometime past, but her death was somewhat unexpected when it came.  The funeral services took place Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock at the Christian Church, conducted by Rev. Deweese, of Lexington, and her remains were laid to rest in Spring Hill Cemetery.  She was a native of Fayette County, and in early life was married to Dr. C. M. Tucker, of this place.  One son, Dr. C. D. Tucker, and a granddaughter, Mrs. Harry Moore, still survive her.
