Emma Simms Shuck May 4, 1941 
Hart-Barren County KyArchives Obituaries

Undated Glasgow KY newspaper 
"Mrs Emma Simms Shuck, wife of Mr. Ernest Shuck, died of a heart attack, Sunday 
morning around 11 o'clock at the Wells home on the Edmonton road, one mile 
northeast of Glasgow. She had been in ill health two years and bedfast two 
months.

"Mrs. Shuck was a native of Hart county and was born and reared near 
Munfordville. She met Mr. Shuck while the latter was engaged in buying tobacco 
on the Horse Cave market. They later married and moved to Glasgow 26 years ago 
where they have since made their home. They had been residing at the Wells 
place for the past several months.

"Mrs. Shuck served a term as secretary of the Barren county Democratic 
committee, being elected in 1932. 

"A member of the Christian church from childhood, she was devoted to her church 
and spent most of her life in practicing and teaching its tenets. Gentle, kind 
and affectionate, Mrs. Shuck enjoyed a wide acquaintance thruout the county and 
was universally loved and respected. She was known to everyone as a loveable 
character and her fine traits lingered to the end of a useful life. A finer, 
more consecrated character never lived and with her passing a saintly woman has 
been called to her reward.

"Besides her husband, Mr. Ernest Shuck, she is survived by two sisters, Miss 
Elizabeth Simms, Mrs. Annie Bailey; one brother, Mr. Tom Simms, all of 
Rowletts, Hart county; three nieces, Mrs. Lee Cook, of Louisville; Mrs. W. H. 
Lane of Rowletts and Mrs. William Owsley, of Winchester.

"Funeral services were held Tuesday, 2 pm at the Crow Funeral Home in this 
city, the Rev. Kenneth H. McCorkle in charge, assisted by W. P. Coombs. Burial 
was in the Canmer cemetery in Hart County."
