HENRY H. TUCKER, one of Fremont's well-known and highly esteemed retired citizens, has occupied his comfortable home at No. 1003 Napoleon Street, Fremont, since December, 1900.  Mr. Tucker still retains his farm of 100 acres, which is situated in Rice Township, Sandusky County and also his controlling interest in the firm of H. H. Tucker & Sons, owners and operators of the Riverside Grist Mill, in Ballville Township.  Mr. Tucker was born Nov. 28, 1830, in St. Lawrence county, New York, and is a son of Nathaniel B. and Mary Ann (Ballard) Tucker.
     The father of Mr. Tucker was born in Massachusetts and went from there to St. Lawrence County, New York, where he lived for a number of years.  In 1839 he moved with his family to Sandusky County, Ohio, and was one of the pioneer settlers in Rice Township.  He was a man of courage and enterprise and did his full share in the early development of the section in which he made his home and where he continued to live until within a short time of his death, when he took up his residence in the home of his son, Nelson R. Tucker, in Sandusky Township, where he died in his eighty-seventh year.  His wife was born May 30, 1801, in New York State and died at the home of Nelson R. at the age of ninety-two years.
     Henry H. Tucker was nine years old when he was brought to Sandusky County - old enough to note the wild and discouraging surroundings which it was necessary to change into a civilized and comfortable place of living.  These early impressions he easily recalls and also the advances that were made, year by year, as he and his brothers grew old enough to assist the father.  The time came when the old Tucker farm became one of the best and most valuable in Rice Township and for many years sheltered a large and prosperous family.  To Henry H. Tucker the township is indebted for many public improvements, for through his many years of residence there he was active in promoting the building of good roads, the establishing of educational centers for the rapidly increasing population, together with the introducing of good stock and practical farming methods, these various interests in materially advancing the general welfare.  He carried on large farming operations, raised stock and became one of the substantial and representative agriculturists of Rice Township.  He also became interested in milling and with his sons conducted the well-known Riverside Grist Mill, which is situated on the Sandusky River, in Ballville Township.  This mill is equipped with modern machinery and has a capacity of seventy-five barrels of flour a day.  The leading brands are the White Lily and the Cotton Ball.  Mr. Tucker continued to live on his farm until 1900, when he retired to Fremont.  He has long been interested in public questions, has thought deeply on the subject of good government, and his sterling character as a citizen has made his opinions acceptable to many of his fellow citizens.  He attended the State Convention of the People's Party, as a delegate, which was held Aug. 5-6, 1891, at Springfield, Ohio, and in the following year was a delegate to the National Convention of the People's Party which met at Omaha, Nebraska, on July 4, 1892.  He is not formally identified with any political party but has prohibition proclivities.
     Mr. Tucker was married Sept. 3, 1854, to Miss Susan Walters, and they enjoyed the celebration of their Golden Wedding Anniversary in 1904, at their hospitable home in Fremont.  Mrs. Tucker was born July 3, 1833, in Sandusky Township, Sandusky County, Ohio, and is a daughter of REV. EPHRAIM and Elizabeth (Kline) WALTERS.  Her father was born in Southern Ohio and her mother in Pennsylvania.  The great-great-grandparents of Mrs. Tucker living during the Indian wars in Kentucky and hey had their cabin burned and were subsequently killed by the savages.  The great-grandfather of Mrs. Tucker was taken by the Indians and lived with them for sixteen years and was given the name of "White Hawk."  The great-grandfather of Mrs. Tucker, EPHRAIM WALTERS, lived to reach the age of 120 years.  At 110 years in the presence of Ephraim the father of Mrs. Tucker shot squirrels from pine trees in Kentucky.  He had the bearing of an Indian and walked as straight.  By the use of strategy he escaped from the Indians.  John Walters, the grandfather, lived in Licking County, Ohio, where his son, REV. EPHRAIM WALTERS, probably was born. The latter was a man of real worth, serving many years as a pioneer Methodist preacher and also as a justice of the peace.  He died many years ago in Rice Township, where he owned a farm of eighty acres, which he had secured from the Government.  Mrs. Tucker has one brother, Alexander P. Walters, who resides at Fremont.
     To Henry H. Tucker and wife were born nine children, six of whom survive, namely:  George A., who lives in Riley Township; William L., who lives in York Township; Herman H., who lives in Ballville Township; Elsie L., who is the wife of E. H. Miller, of Green Creek Township;  Arthur N., who lives in Ballville Township; and Harry W., who resides in Rice Township, all being respected and esteemed in their various sections.  Mr. and Mrs. Tucker are active and interested members of the First Brethren Church at Fremont.  Mr. Tucker is president and treasurer of Briar Hill Cemetery Association of Rice Township, of which he was one of the organizers.  Mr. Tucker's life has been one of useful endeavor and in its evening he can look back with little regret and forward with happy and peaceful anticipation.
