Excerpt from Dedication of a Memorial to Reverend John Tucke, 1702-1773: Star Island, Isles of Shoals, New Hampshire, July 29, 1914 On March 1914, at a special meeting of the Trustees of the New Hampshire Historical Society, Mr. Benjamin A. Kimball announced the intention of Mr. Edward Tuck to build a permanent memorial over the grave of Rev. John Tucke at Star Island, Isles of Shoals. Mr. Kimball had previously directed Mr. Timothy P. Sullivan of Concord, an authority in monumental art and construction, to investigate the whole subject, consider the location, and recommend a plan for the proposed memorial. The result is shown in the granite obelisk, dedicated July 29, 1914, whose picture forms the frontispiece of this volume. The design, construction, and erection of the monument were entrusted to Mr. Sullivan. At this meeting Mr. Kimball further suggested, in accordance with Mr. Tuck's wishes, that the New Hampshire Historical Society secure the site of the monument in its own name, dedicate, and care for it forever. The Trustees accepted and carried out these recommendations. Mr. Kimball stated that it was the wish of Mr. Tuck that the dedication ceremonies should be conducted by the Society, and desired the Trustees to take action to that end by the appointment of the necessary committees or agents.
