Dr. George E. TUCKER, died at his home, a short distance northwest of the city, last night and will be buried at Old Union tomorrow at 10 o'clock.

Paralysis was the cause.

Dr. Tucker recently wandered from his home while his mind was off and was gone for several days.

Note from Sandy:
Seeing the statement his "mind was off" makes me think he might have had what we now call Alzheimers disease or some other form of dementia.
