SMITH, David Tucker – (from Goshen) We are sad to relate the death of “Uncle Tuck” Smith who died Friday night. He was eighty-four years of age and was captain in the Confederate army. He has led his men through many a “bloody fray,” but has gone now to answer the “Last Roll Call.”

Death of Captain Tuck Smith – David Tucker Smith passed away at his home in Richland township yesterday, at the age of 85 years and 12 days. He was born in Henderson County, Tennessee and came to Arkansas in 1850. For a few years he lived at Huntsville and followed his trade, that of blacksmith, and then moved to Richland township, Washington County, and engaged in farming. He fought through the Civil War as a Confederate soldier, and before its close became Captain of “Tuck Smith’s Company,” which was noted throughout the West for its many daring engagements and the bravery and heroism of its men. Capt. Smith was a courageous fighter during the war, and was a gentle, law-abiding, useful citizen in peace. He was extensively known and was held in high esteem. He was married in 1844 and 18 children were born to them, 11 of whom are living. His wife died many years ago.
