She was born in Exton, Rutlandshire, England, February 2, 1818; was married to William Tuckwood at the age of twenty, and came to America in 1849, coming then to Milwaukee and thence to Janesville. Ten children have blessed the marriage, eight of whom survive, them being Mrs. William Croft of Janesville, Mrs. Martin Shields of Chicago; John Tuckwood, Mrs. William G. Metcalf and Mrs. Joseph Garlock of Janesville; Mrs. Fanny McCullough of Minnesota, William and Charles Tuckwood of Janesville. The two children who passed away were Mrs. Thomas Maho--- and Thomas Tuckwood, who died at the age of ten months. Her husband, William Tuckwood, died thirty-three years ago. Mrs. Tuckwood was a conscientious Christian lady, having been identified with the First Methodist church for twenty-five years and she never tired in doing Christian work. She possessed an iron constitution, yet her life was one of many hardships. Stricken with paralysis while crossing the ocean on her voyage to America, one of her arms was made helpless for a long time. She struggled with her husband to make a home in the new country. Again and again she was stricken with paralysis, but her strength of constitution and will power aided her in her struggle to live and maintain her self and rear her family. Bereaved by the death of her husband thirty-three years ago, and left with several small children, she fought on knowledge that in the end she would receive her reward Image Gallery
