Notes

Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume IV: "Henry Smith Rucker Admitted to the bar in 1898, Mr. Rucker, after practicing in Lexington, Virginia, two years, located in Buena Vista, and in 1906 was appointed to the high position he has since held continuously through election, commonwealth attorney of the city of Buena Vista, Virginia. He is a grandson of William Ballard Rucker, of Bedford county, Virginia, and among Mr. Rucker's treasured possessions is the musket carried by his grand sire during the war of 1812-14. William Ballard Rucker had sons: Daniel H., of further mention; William A., who served throughout the war of 1861-65 as a private in a Virginia regiment of infantry; Addison C., a cavalryman during the same war, serving under Colonel Mosby."

Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume IV: "(III) Henry Smith Rucker, son of Daniel H. and Mariamna (Rucker) Rucker, was born in Amherst county, Virginia, March 9, 1873. His public school education began in the schools of Amherst county, was completed in the Buena Vista high school. In 1898 he entered Washington-Lee University, law department, whence he was graduated Bachelor of Law, in June, 1898. He was formally admitted to the bar in July of the same year and began practice at Lexington, the capital of Rockbridge county, the seat of Washington-Lee University and Virginia Military Institute. He began legal practice in the office of Colonel W. A. Anderson, continuing until 1900, when he located at Buena Vista, eight miles distant from Lexington on the Chesapeake and Ohio and Norfolk and Western railroads, a thriving town of about three thousand inhabitants and many prosperous industries. There he formed a law partnership with C. B. Guyer, practicing as Guyer & Rucker until 1903, when the firm dissolved. Mr. Rucker continued alone until 1906, practicing in all state and Federal courts of the district and attaining high standing as an able lawyer and wise counsellor. In 1906 a vacancy occurred in the office of commonwealth attorney for Rockbridge county, which was filled by the appointment of Mr. Rucker. His conduct of the prosecutor's office was so satisfactory that at the close of his appointive term in 1908, he was nominated and elected by the people to succeed himself. He has since held the office continuously through re-elections, his efficient service being recognized by both bench and bar and all having business with the commonwealth attorney's office, but not all to the satisfaction of those who break the laws he is sworn to execute.

He is a member of the Virginia Bar Association; Buena Vista, No. 186, Free and Accepted Masons, of which he is an honored past master; and the Junior Order of American Mechanics. In political faith he is a Democrat.

Mr. Rucker married, December 12, 1906, Verna May Hodges, born in Richmond, Virginia, October 5, 1876, daughter of Vernon E. and Georgie Winston (Joseph) Hodges. Children: Harry Hodges, died in infancy; Georgie Mariamna, born November 28, 1909; Henry Smith (2), born in Buena Vista, Virginia, August 15, 1913."
