Dear Zug descendants,
I do not descend from Zugs, but would like to make contact with the
children of my gg-grandmother's sister, Martha LUCAS ZUCK LANNING, whose
first husband was Thomas ZUCK. He died 1906 in Miami, Okla., was a Civil
War veteran, and that is all I know about him. Martha's obituary says:
"Martha Frances LUCAS, 7th dau of George and Jane (SPAULDING)
LUCAS, was born in Fremont Co., Iowa, July 4, 1854, and died March 27,
1937.
She was married to Thomas ZUCK March 31, 1870, and to this union
were born 8 children. Two daughters preceeded her in death: Rola
(1882-1887) and Lillie (1878-1922).
She is survived by her husband Sam Lanning and 5 sons and one
daughter. They are: Albert ZUCK of Havilah, Cal.; George ZUCK of Kansas
City, Mo.; William ZUCK of Pueblo, Colo.; Charles ZUCK of Asbury, Mo.;
Thomas ZUCK of Cherryvale, Kans.; and Amy COLLIER of Scammon, Kans. She
also leaves 27 grandchildren, 27 great-grandchildren, 1
great-great-grandchild, and 1 sister, Mary J. WEAVER of Colorado Springs.
She moved to Holt Co. MO in 1864, then in 1874 to Chautauqua Co.
KS. . . . The family moved to Labette Co. KS, then to Seneca, MO, then to
Miami, OK, where her husband [Thomas ZUCK] died in 1906. She was laid to
rest beside her [first] husband in the GAR cemetery at Miami, OK."
This was from the Scammon, KS newspaper, probably from April 5, 1937. Her
2nd husband, Syme Henry LANNING, died Dec. 15, 1937 in Scammon.
Other ZUCKs who could (or not) be related to Thomas ZUCK were:

of Mrs. C.P. BARTRAM).
Bersheba, d Holt Co. MO 12 Nov 1883, age 79y 10m 11d, wife of
Abram, mother of 8.
John ZUCK, b Marion Co. OH 14 Jan 1843, d Union City, OK 17 June
1902, enlisted Co. G, 135th Ohio Infantry, mar. Louisa SCHULTE at Oregon,

Louisa SCHULTE ZUCK d El Reno, OK 9 Dec 1922, age 74y.
Bertha A. ZUCK, infant dau of John & Louisa ZUCK, d 14 Dec 1878,

Harrison ZUCK drowned 9 June 1876 near Corning, Holt Co., MO, age 13.
Elizabeth JUMP ZUCK, b Marion Co. OH 9 Dec 1836, moved to NW Mo.
1867, d 16 Sept 1877 Atchison Co. MO, lost 3 children in 17 days in 1861,
son Marion ZUCK 1872, and son Harrison ZUCK 1876.
There were many ZOOKs in Holt Co. MO also, but I don't know if they were
related to the ZUCKs.
Please write if you recognize anyone. I would really appreciate any help.
Thank you.
