Dandridge Tucker, farmer and stock-raiser, Eel River Township, was born March 3, 1827, in Casey County, Ky., and the only son of Lee and Miranda (Durham) Tucker. When seven years old his parents removed to Indiana, where his youth was spent in assisting his father to clear and improve his farm, and in attending the subscription schools. He was married May 5, 1850, to Miss Catherine Davis, born March 11, 1830, in Montgomery County, Ky., a daughter of Nathan and Nancy (Kidd) Davis, who came to Hendricks County in 1835. They are the parents of four children--David L., Nathan A., Miranda F. and Robert E. After his marriage he settled on his present farm, and has met with good success in his agricultural pursuits. Mr. Tucker is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. His wife was a member of the Christian church till her death, which occurred Feb. 15, 1883. Politically Mr. Tucker is an active worker in the Republican party. In 1857 he was appointed Township Trustee under the old constitution, and was elected Treasurer of the Board, serving in this capacity until the new constitution was adopted. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, and belongs to Danville Council and Chapter, and to Hazel Regg Lodge, No. 200, having held every office in the lodge many times. He is one of the oldest representatives in the Grand Lodge, and is also a member of the Masonic Veteran Association, which was organized in 1883.
