OBITUARY ---------------

JOHN H. KUCK

Redwood City Democrat

March 9, 1893

John H. Kuck well and favorably known to the people of San Mateo County, died in this place last week. He was at one time a trustee of the town of Redwood City. He had resided here for about eighteen years and at all times held the respect and esteem of his fellow citizens. He was the proprietor of the resort known as ‘Pacific Garden’ at the junction of the Woodside Road. His funeral took place from the Congregational Church Sunday and was numerously attended, the church not having enough seating capacity for those in attendance. A large concourse of people followed the remains to Union Cemetery where they were interred. The carriages in the procession must have numbered a hundred. The deceased was a native of Westervede, Hanover, Germany. He left a widow and several children aged sixty years.
