Excerpt from Chicago; Its History and Its Builders, Vol. 4: A Century of Marvelous Growth The business career of Albert H. Thacker, long a South Water street merchant, was crowned with success so that he left to his family a comfortable competence. More than that, he left to them an honored name, for his record was ever char acterized by all that is straightforward and reliable in business. He became a resident of Chicago in 1842. His birth had occurred in South Charleston, Ohio, in 1855, his parents being James and Letitia (gullett) Thacker, of Virginia. His father was a carriage builder and at the time of the Civil war put aside business cares, serving as a surgeon in the army from 1862 until 1861. The family is of English origin and was founded in America by the grandfather of Albert H. Thacker who, on crossing the Atlantic, settled in Virginia. The brother of our subject was a bugle boy in the Civil war. After removing to Chicago, James Thacker engaged in the grocery business for five years and then entered the real-estate business in which connection be controlled many important property transfers. At length he built the old Thacker block, at the corner of Thirty-ninth street and Drexel boulevard. In his later years he retired from active business life.
