HON. JAMES F. STUCKER was born in Harrison County, Ind., in 1831; son of
Rev. David W. and Ann (Lister) Stucker, and is of German lineage.  The
father of Mr. Stucker was born in Franklin County, Ky., in 1802, and his
grandfather in North Carolina in 1773, and the great-grandfather was a
Virginian, and was killed by Indians. In 1806 the father of Mr. Stucker
came to the Territory that now composes Indiana, and settled in what is
now Washington County, formerly Harrison.  At an early age he began to
preach, at which he continued until his death, which occurred in 1881 at
New Albany, Ind.  He was one of the pioneer ministers of the Hoosier
State.  The early life of the subject of this sketch was spent on the farm
and at carpentering.  In 1861 he enlisted in the United States Army, in
Company K, Sixty-third Indiana Volunteers.  He was commissioned Captain of
his Company in July, 1865.  Mr. Stucker was at the battles of Shiloh,
Forts Henry and Donelson, Champion Hills, Raymond, Vicksburg, Atlanta,
Savannah, and many others, and was with Sherman to the sea.  Capt. Stucker
was honorably discharged in 1865.  In 1866 he came to Orange County,
Indiana and settled in Paoli, where he has since resided.  The same year
he purchased a one-half interest in what has since been known as the King
& Stucker Mill, and this interest Mr. Stucker has since retained. In 1860
he was elected Sheriff of Orange County, and served one term.  In 1878 he
was elected to represent the counties of Orange and Crawford in the
General Assembly of Indiana, and was re-elected to the same office in
1882.  During the first session he introduced in the House twenty-three
bills, and thirteen during the second session.  The marriage of Capt.
Stucker took place in 1870 to Miss Jane Jordan, of Corydon, Ind., who bore
him five children, all of which are deceased and as follows:  John,
Minnie, Katie, James and an infant that died unnamed.  Capt. Stucker is an
uncompromising Democrat, a member of the Masonic fraternity, and one of
the leading and honorable men of southern Indiana.
