MRS. TUGGLE DEAD --- Wife of Esq. E. W. Tuggle Called to
Her Reward. --- Died on Dec. 15, 1905, near Caledonia, Trigg
County Kentucky, Mrs. Lina Gertrude Hancock Tuggle in her fifty-seventh
year. The deceased was the daughter of Col. Nathan Hancock, a native of
Charlotte county Virginia, and after the close of the war of 1861 and 1865,
in the year 1867, she came to Kentucky on a visit to her sister, Mrs. E.C.
Harey, who then resided at Montgomery Kentucky, and there met a distant
relative of hers, Mr. E. W. Tuggle, and their meeting was pleasant and
their attachments and affections grew stronger for each other, and on the
16th day of Nov. 1868 they were married and lived happily together until
she was called to her final reward. She joined the Locust Grove Baptist
church in 1868 and had been a constant member of the same for 37 years,
and in her death the church has lost one of its faithful members and ardent
supporters. The deceased leaves one brother, T. R. Hancock, of!
Hopkinsville,Ky., the only member of her fathers family residing
in this state. She was the mother of eight children three of whom are dead
and five living, the eldest, Mrs. Bulah V. Hayes, of Lexington, T. B. Tuggle,
of Nortonville, L. Aubry Tuggle, of Hopkinsville, Edgar D. Tuggle and Pearl
A. Tuggle of this county and her husband, E. W. Tuggle to feel their irrepairable
loss. But grieve not husband or children for wife and mother has paid the
debt we all owe, and sooner or later you following her example will meet
her on a brighter and far more pleasant shore than this, where there will
be no more parting and the weary shall rest forever. She is now only sleeping
beside her loved ones that have preceded her to the tomb.
