Andrew Shuck
…
The long life and residence of Mr. Andrew Shuck, in Fulton County, and his identification with the history and early settlement of this community, makes it appropriate that some more extended notice of his life and character should be made than has yet appeared. He was a man of such fixed principles and such sterling integrity, that his influence was impressed upon the whole community in which he lived.
He was of German descent and had inherited the characteristics of economy and industry peculiar to the better classes of that race, an also that rugged vitality that enabled him to contend with the hardships of the early settlement of this county.
He was born in Henry County, Ky., June 12, 1801, and died on the old homestead in this county, Wednesday night, Oct. 23, 1889, aged 88 years, 4 months and 11 days. At the age of 28 he came to Fulton County, buying lands six miles east of Hickman, and on which farm he resided continuously to the day of his death.
In August 1828, he was married to Cynthia, daughter of John B. and Mary Clark. Eleven children were born to this union, only one of whom is living, Mrs. W. M. Bacon.
Mrs. Shuck, his beloved wife, died Aug. 17, 1887, aged 72 years.
"Uncle Andy Shuck," as he was kindly and respectfully known to the present generation of our people, was a grand old man, thoroughly upright, honest and conscientious in all his acts and relations. He was never a church member, but was of the old-school Presbyterian belief, and lived up to that faith all through life. He was a great friend to the widows and orphans, and during his life had a number of orphans in his house whom he kindly assisted and raised.
A few minutes before he breathed his last, he repeated the Psalm: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil;" and also, "Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world" As he felt the joy touch of death, he exclaimed: "This is death; oh, come quick! I am not afraid to die!" Thus, passed away the noble old man, looking back upon a long life of usefulness, and forward to the life of happiness and reward.
His history furnishes an honorable incentive to the young men of the present generation, in that it shows that success can be won by industry and economy over the hardest trials, and that success can be had ever maintaining honorable relations to all our fellow-beings and closing with the hope of a better life in the hereafter.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. R. M. King, and around his grave stood many grieved hearts, who had known the deceased all their lives, and each saw in the life ended, the admonition: "Ye, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil;" an "Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world."
