Merritt William Tuck and Dinah Phillips

From the Tuck Family web site at MyFamily.com:

"Merritt William Tuck was born at Andrusville on the 17th of May, 1858 and spent his youth at the home of his grandfather, Merritt Orsamus Andrus. At the age of 21 he was given $100 and a horse. At this time the cost of a 100 acre farm in Grenville county was about $400, so he had a reasonable down payment on a farm. He did buy a farm at Otter Lake, Quebec, but soon returned to work for William Pearsons at Merrickville. Here, he was married and his eldest child, Annie was born. He also worked for Watchorn's Woolen Mills and then for the Merrickville Plow and Stove company for many years. During his employment here he contracted pneumonia and lost a lung. Sometime during his life he burnt his feet with quicklime. He was caretaker of the Anglican church in Merrickville for over 30 years.

His grandson, Douglas Gravelle, described him as a very quiet man of very few words. There was no card playing, no drinking and no foul language, in his presence or in his household. His memories of his grandmother are also kindly, even though on the surface she seemed the real disciplinarian in the family. "Mostly she would be mending clothes in the evening, by lamplight, while my grandfather sharpened a scythe or sickle.""
