Oregonian, Portland, Oregon Wednesday, 10 September 1924 Man Long Missing Dies on Poor Farm James McTucker Sought for 35 Years Pauper Burial Averted Members of Family Deserted in Butte, Montana, Here to Make Funeral Arrangements For 35 years lost to relatives who gladly would have encouraged and helped him James McTucker, 73, died in lonesome exile at the county poor farm last Thursday. “He could have had plenty of money at any time by telegraphing his brother in Illinois,” yesterday explained Mrs. S.J. Allen, 172 East Thirty-fifth street. It was Mrs. Allen who read the simple newspaper notice of McTucker’s death and saw to it that the wealthy brother, John McTucker of Darry (sic), Ill. was notified by telegram. As a result of the friendly interest of the Portland woman and her mother, Mrs. Mary Gelvin, Frank McTucker, 52, son of the dead county ward, arrived in Portland yesterday from Butte, Mont. Instead of reposing in a pauper plot, as fate came near, decreeing the older McTucker will have fitting private burial. Family Long Deserted. As the story was told by Mrs. Allen yesterday, James McTucker came of an influential Illinois family and had enjoyed a college education. Along with his brother and a sister or two, he inherited considerable means. But things went wrong with him, and 35 years ago he deserted his wife and three children in Butte. In all the intervening years the family and brother and sisters sought in vain to find trace of him. Vague reports that he had been seen in California failed of verification, and the relatives finally gave up the search in the belief that the missing man was dead. All Family Living. The moment John McTucker received a telegram from teh East Side Funeral Directors, who received the body last week, he communicated with the family in Butte. The wife and three children are all living. Frank, now here, lives at Butte. His brother is in Panama and the sister is a resident of Seattle. Mrs. Gelvin, whose home is in Spokane, made positive identification of the body at the undertaking parlor. She is here on a visit to her daughter. Mr. McTucker was admitted to the county farm August 19; he said he had lived in Oregon three years and prior to that time had worked in California, where the relatives had vainly sought to locate him. He was ill when received at the farm, and slow weakening of his heart brought his death 16 days later. The Oregonian, Portland, Oregon, 10 September 1924 page 18 McTucker–In this city, Sept. 4, James McTucker, aged 73 years, beloved brother of John McTucker of Darry, Ill. Funeral services will be held today (Wednesday) at 10:30 A.M. from the conservatory chapel of the East Side Funeral Directors, 414 E. Alder. Friends invited. Concluding service at Mt. Scott cemetery.
