His parents were Joseph Albert and Mary Magdalena (Huber) Tucker, the former a native of England and the latter a native of Germany. Joseph A. Tucker was born in 1826 and died in 1880. He emigrated from England to America in 1860 and fought in the Union army throughout the Civil War, as sergeant of his company in a Kentucky Union regiment of volunteers. Magdalena (Huber) Tucker was born in 1842 and accompanied her mother to America in 1845. Her father died while serving as a soldier in the German army. She now resides in St Louis. In 1870 the Tuckers left Kentucky and after one year in St Louis, they settled at Tipton. The children born to Joseph A. and Mary Magdalena Tucker are: Mrs. Priscilla Belle Hamilton, a widow, residing with her mother in St Louis; Albert Edward, St Louis, and Martin Tucker of this review.

Martin Tucker learned the trade of painter and decorator in St Louis and first followed his trade at Tipton, Mo., where he resided until Sept. 7, 1884, when he located in Boonville. He was employed by Spahr Brothers of this city for a few months and then engaged in business for himself. Mr. Tucker was appointed to a membership on the city police force in 1899 and served as city policeman for six years and seven months. He was then elected city marshal and served for eight years as marshal and chief of police, from 1906 to 1914. The next step in his official career was his election to the office of sheriff of the county in November of 1916 far a term of four years.

Sheriff Tucker was married on Feb. 12, 1885, to Miss Margaret Kirchner, who was born at Belleville, Ill., April 18, 1864, and is a daughter of John C. and Anna B. (Knoch) Kirchner, natives of Germany who immigrated to America in 1854. In about 1854 the Kirchners settled in Boonville, later moved to Belleville, Ill., in 1862, and returned to Boonville in the spring of 1866. Mr. Kirchner was employed in the coal mines near Boonville and was a farmer and grape grower who conducted a vineyard near Boonville. John C. Kirchner was born Aug. 19, 1833, and died Aug. 8, 1900. His wife, Anna B. Kirchner, was born Jan. 29, 1830, and died Aug. 23, 1907. Two children of theirs are living out of 11 born to them: Lizzie is the wife of John G. Bauer, Boonville, Mo., and Mrs. Martin Tucker.
