Funeral services for Edward M. Tuhey, 73, former mayor of Muncie, who died Monday night at his home, 1121 South Walnut street, will be conducted at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the residence, the Rev. A.W. McDavitt, pastor of St. John's Universalist Church, officiating. Burial will be in Beech Grove Cemetery. Sons of Mr. Tuhey will act as pallbearers.
Civic leaders yesterday mourned the death of Mr. Tuhey, who was twice mayor of Muncie and in his service in that office, as a member the board of education and in other capacities rendered distinguished service.
Mr. Tuhey was mayor during the years 1898-1902 and 1910-1914 and also served as postmaster. He was first a school teacher and later a farmer and contractor and his business success led to his presidency of the Muncie Iron and Steel Company, the old People's National Bank, of which he was the first president, and the Tuhey Coal Company. At the time of his death he was president of the Tuhey Canning Company, operating here for the past thirty-three years.
Until a few months ago Mr. Tuhey was secretary of the board of education, continuing faithfully to perform his duties in that office although in ill health. He had been a member of the board for the past eighteen years. At its meeting yesterday afternoon in the office of D.W. Horton, superintendent of schools, the board passed a resolution honoring the memory of its former member.
"Whereas," the resolution, reads, "death has removed from our midst Mr. Edward Tuhey, late member of the Board of Education of the City of Muncie, and, whereas Mr. Tuhey served on the Board of Education for a period of eighteen years, during which time he rendered a distinguished service remarkable in his devotion to the public welfare and to the education of the young people of Muncie and upholding a standard of public service worthy of emulation, we hereby pause to take note of his departure from among us, pay just tribute to his high ideals of public service, and express our sympathy to the members of his bereaved family."
