Mrs. Mary E. Stuckey, one of the oldest residents in this part of the state, died at the home of her son, B. F. Stuckey, in Glasgow, Sunday March 17, 1912, at the ripe old age of 89 years, 1 month, and 28 days. The remains, accompanied by Mr. B. F. Stuckey, were brought to Brunswick, and after funeral services by Rev. C. E. Dunkleberger at the Christian church Monday afternoon, were laid to rest in Elliott Grove Cemetery, Brunswick, MO.
Mrs. Stuckey was a native of Kentucky, and was born in that state January 19, 1823. She was the daughter of Benjamin and Nancy Box. At the age of seven years she left Kentucky with her parents, going to Iowa and settling at Fort Madison, which then was only a fort. After living there a few years the family moved to Hancock county, Illinois, and after several years there again moved to Iowa. From Iowa they moved to Putnam county, this state, and the subject of this sketch was married there in 1859 to Mr. John Stuckey, whose death occurred in 1895. They resided in Putnam county till 1865, and from there went to Illinois where they spent eight years. From there they moved to this county in 1873. Of her marriage to Mr. Stuckey five children were born, three sons and five daughters. The three sons, B. F. of Glasgow; L. B. of Brunswick, and Levi of Tyronza, Arkansas, all survive. The daughters were Emma, who became the wife of R. E. Adams of Tyronza, Arkansas, and died some ten years ago; and Nannie C., who became the wife of T. A. Coleman of Dalton, and died about four years ago.
Mrs. Stuckey united with the Christian church at Fort Madison, Iowa, and was baptized in the Mississippi river at that place when she was twenty years old. Throughout her long and useful life she was a consecrated and consistent Christian woman, a willing worker in her Masters cause, doing good deeds and speaking cheering words wherever she went. She possessed a wonderful fund of information of pioneer days, and her mind remained active to the last.
