Julia (Stell) Tuck (1850-1928)

Mrs Julia (Stell) Tuck

She was born and brought up in England. When she was thirteen, her father died and her mother took her to Paris but after she too died she was taken into the care of the Richards family - George T. Richards was a partner in the bank of John Munroe & Co., for whom her future husband worked, and George's daughter, Elise, married Jules Jusserand, future French Ambassador to the United States. The Richards' introduced her to French society at the court of Napoleon III. In 1872, at St. George's in Hanover Square, London, she married the American banker Edward Tuck. When she died at her home in Paris, Le Figaro reported: "The death of Mrs Tuck was a great loss to France. To enumerate the good works of this kindly woman who passed her life aiding the afflicted and unfortunate would be an impossibility". She died without children.
