Tucke Monument - Erected in 1914, 46.5-foot-tall obelisk-monument in Star

The Tucke Monument was erected in 1914 to honor Reverend John Tucke, who served as a minister, judge, educator, physician, and in his probate record, 'owner' of a 12-year-old black girl named Diana. The monument is located on Star Island, New Hampshire, where Tucke worked. The monument is the tallest gravestone in the state of New Hampshire, far taller than the 28-foot-tall gravestone of Frank Jones in Portsmouth. Edward Tuck, a descendant of Tucke and a wealthy expatriate banker based in France, financed the monument's construction, collaborating with the New Hampshire Historical Society.

On July 29, 1914, the Historical Society organized a dedication for the monument. The dedication was an elaborate ceremony, with speeches and a 68-page book published on the event titled [Dedication of a Memorial to Reverend John Tucke, 1702-1773, Star Island, Isles of Shoals, New Hampshire, July 29, 1914; with an address on Captain John Smith](https://archive.org/details/dedicationofmemo00hamm).
