I am doing a research on the Stucker family of 2218 Market st., Wilmington De. My father was Edward G Stucker married to Addie Henrietta McAllister. George Strong married my fathers 1st cousin Madeline Marie Hart. He was killed when I was 2 but his memory was passed down to me by my parents. We, as a family, never forgot George and the part he played to give us the free life we enjoy. It saddens me so much, I am 80 years old now, when I think of him. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. January 1st, 2023
