Oldest Man in Military Service of United States. BORN ON APRIL 28, 1812 Never on Sick List in Life Until Fatally Stricken. ROW OVER INSURANCE POLICY Would Not Accept Settlement Offered Year Ago on Theory That He Was Statistically Dead. Gen. Daniel H.

Rucker. Gen. D. H. Rucker.

S. Army, retired, who had been dangerously 111 at his residence. 1824 Jefferson place northwest, for more than a week, died at noon today. Funeral arrangements have not yet been made. Native of New Jersey.

Gen. Rucker was born In the little town of Belleville. X. April 28. 1812.

Eight years later he was taken by his parents to Grosse Isle. (near Detroit! where he went to school. October 1 I. he was appointed second lieutenant of the 1st United States Dragoons and ten years later reached the rank of captain in that service. He served against the Indians in the west and southwest, and in the Mexican and civil wars.

lie commanded a squadron of cavalry at the battle of Buena Vista. Mexico, and was brevetted a major for gallant and meritorous services in that engagement. In September, 1861, he was appointed brigadier general of I'nited States Volunteers, was brevitted major general of volunteers and was repeatedly commanded for faithful and meritorious services during the civil war. In August, 1.S49 lie was transferred to the quartermaster's department, and in 1NS2 he was made quartermaster general with the rank of brigadier general. In the same year, after having given forty years of his life to the army of his country and being more than sixty-two 1 years old.

Gen. Rucker, at his own re-1 quest, was transferred to the retired' list. Since then he made his home at! Jefferson place in this city. Though away from the active work of a government branch with which he was connected for many years, he continued to take a deep interest in everything pertaining to the army. Was Twice Married.

While still a young man. serving on the western frontier, he married Miss Flora Coodey. who was a lialfblood 'lierokee Indian, her father being a wealthy ranch owner. Four children were born of the union, three eons and one daughter. All the boys died at an early age, but the daughter is still living.

But that was a very long time ago. may be judged front the fact that l.eing left a widower, rapt. Rucker. as he was then, took a second wife, who was Miss Jane Curtis, in One of the daughters of this marriage made him the father-in-law of Gen. Philip Sheridan by espousing that famous cavalry officer.

Golden Wedding Celebrated. apt. Rucker was thirty-eight years old when he married his second wife and she lived long enough to celebrate her golden wedding with hitn In this city in 1000. This circumstance in itself gives a vivid notion of the great period of time covered by the life of the old soldier. all the material things which are regarded as making up what is called modern civilisation have come into existence since Gen.

Rucker was grown to manhood. Railroads, steamboats, the electric telegraph, the telephone, the sewing machine, submarine boats, airships and flying machines were as jet undreamed of when he was a boy. The nge or mechanical invention, indeed" which has produced su'-h countless marx had scarcely when he was commissioned an officer in the army. The lapse of time since his birth is niost realized when it is considered that Gen. Rucker lived in every presidential administration since the government began, save only of Washington.

Adams and Jefferson. He was born only thirteen iears after the death of the first President, and among Ins friends and acquaintances werp many P-ople who knew (ieorge Washington. Retained Physical Vigor. Hut who saw Gen. Rucker a lew short months ago would hardly be1 eve that such things could be true, for wag then as spry and youthful in his ways as many a man sixty-rive years.

At that comparatively recent period lie usually walked down town nearly every Tuorning, and wfls a tamiMar figure on ihe street cars, day last summer lie was observed standing the running board an car. having got up and stepped out to allow some ladles to (Jen Rucker celebrated his ninctvpeventh birthday in April of last year. Jtut it did not seem to him that that fact gave any excuse for the action of a certain insurance company in subsequent Iv sending an agent his bouse to make money settlement for his death. Greatly irritated by this summary notice of his own demise, he walked down town the following morning and dropped in at the office of the company. Tne president and other were very apologetic, and did their utmost to appease him.

Resented the Company's Action. Yes, they admitted the general had the appearance of being alive. Mis presence in the office was good evidence in support of such a theory. But in a technical business sense he was dead. They did their best to show him that from a life insurance viewpoint lie had passed away and that the on Ids life had to be paid.

They told the general that they would pay the money to any one he wouid designate and expressed regret that he had been annoyed or inconvenienced in any way by the simple execution of one of their standing rules. The general positively declined to be considered evenj China. Glass, Pottery, Kitchen Wares. Etc. A Two-dlay iargaln lale off Household Requisites.

I technically dead under and he would not accept the money which the company declared he was entitled to under his policy. And so far as known he maintained that attitude to the end. Kit Carson, the great Indian scout, was with Rucker on one of his expeditions against the Indians.

In fact, the scout and the soldier shared the same tent, and the stories of Carson which the general stored up for future recital were full of the interest of frontier warfare in the early days. Rucker thrashed the ITtes in several fights and then they came in and said they would be good Indians. Never on Sick List. In all the years of the active service of Daniel H. Rucker his name did not appear once on the sick report.

The army was to his liking, and its fresh air and its freedom for a long period from the restraint of any walls save those of his tent gave him the vigor and the strength of body to live nearly twenty-eight years beyond the Psalmist's allotted limit of three score years and ten. The records show that he was the oldest man that had ever been in the military service of the United States. TOSSED BACK AND FORTH. Schooner Jacksonville Twice Blown to and from Bermuda.
