From the Collection:

This collection contains the papers of Mattie Lamb Tucker, a nurse who lived in Blacksburg, Virginia. The collection includes a set of certificates awarded to Tucker for her qualifications and efforts in community service work. Also included are materials relating to the World War II death of Tucker's son, Henry Tucker, comprised of such items as telegram notifications, newspaper clippings and contributions from friends for Tucker's eulogy.

Many of these clippings relate to Mattie Tucker's community service as well as Arthur Tucker's horse shows and his social position. Included also are a small collection of photographs of the Tuckers--she at work and social gatherings, and some of Arthur Tucker, and their pets.
