John and Elizabeth had 8 children. Seven of their children were: Mary, John, Lucy, Maria, Charles, Emma and William Lucas.
John was a Carpenter.
The following obituary for John Lucas was published in The Trenton Times on August 10, 1900.
John Lucas, a carpenter, aged 82 years, died in the General Hospital at Elizabeth early yesterday morning as the result of injuries he received Monday afternoon while at work helping to tear down the Linden Park grandstand.
Mr. Lucas was in the employ of his son-in-law William Hunt who is overseeing the work of tearing down the grandstand preparatory to moving it to the Inter State fairgrounds here. He began work Monday morning and worked to about 3:30 that afternoon when he attempted to knock some boards loose from a scaffold about five feet from the ground.
It is thought he tripped over a plank and this caused him to fall heavily to the ground. He landed upon a pile of debris and sustained a broken hip besides being injured internally.
An ambulance from the General Hospital conveyed him to that institution and the best of medical attention was given him. The injuries sustained would not have resulted seriously for a young person but Mr. Lucas advanced years were against his recovery and yesterday he succumbed.
The deceased was a resident of Trenton from infancy. He was born in Burlington County and his parents moved to this city when he was less than a year old.
He was a carpenter by trade and up until eight years ago, worked steadily at his craft. Since then he has been doing odd jobs and has had no regular employment.
Deceased was a widower. He is survived by four children. They are Mrs. William Hunt of this city, Miss Mary Lucas of Hightstown, Mrs. John Schwartz of Princess Ann, MD and Charles Lucas who resides in the West. The funeral arrangements have not all been completed but it is expected the funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock with interment in Greenwood Cemetery. Poulson & Coleman will be in charge. The funeral will be from the home of his son-in-law Mr. William Hunt, of Passaic Street
