Representative James Brown Stuckey View All Years

HON. JAMES B. STUCKEY.

MR. SPEAKER: Your committee appointed to prepare and present suitable resolutions respecting the life, character and public services of the Honorable James B. Stuckey, late a member of the House of Representatives of the sixteenth General Assembly of Iowa, beg leave to report the following:

The subject of this memorial was born November 7, 1834, and departed this life at his home in Moulton, Appanoose County, Iowa, on the first day of December, 1909. He was engaged in the occupation of farming and stock raising from the time he came to Appanoose county, a number of years ago, up to a few years ago, when he retired from this occupation and moved to the town of Moulton.

Mr. Stuckey was a man who was loved and respected by all who knew him. He was an active member, of the Methodist church and took an interest in all matters pertaining to the welfare of that organization.

He was identified with the democratic party, and active in the councils of his party. He was elected to the office of Representative from Appanoose county to the Sixteenth General Assembly of Iowa, retirement did not mean, however, his retirement from the activities of life, for on down to the time of his death he was actively engaged and served the people of his county in a faithful and capable manner, which reflected credit upon himself and those he was called upon to represent.

The life, character and public services of Mr. Stuckey were such as to command the respect and admiration of all who knew him; therefore, be it

Resolved, That in his death the state has lost a citizen of worth and whose every act was above reproach; and be it further

Resolved, That we extend to his family and friends our sincere sympathy and that a copy of these resolutions be entered upon the Journal of the House and that a copy of the same be forwarded to the bereaved family of the deceased.
