FALLS DEAD NEAR ROME. Rome, Ga., April 17. – The residence of Capt. John Tucker, at Lake City, twelve miles from Rome, was destroyed by fire this morning about 4 o’clock. Captain Tucker had become greatly excited during the fire and dropped dead. He was sixty years of age and leaves a wife and several children. Captain Tucker was well known here and served during the civil war as captain of Company B, twenty-first Georgia Regiment. The house was a large one-story frame affair and the family saved but a few things. The loss will amount to considerable. It is not known how the fire started. |
