William Clifford Tucker (January 19, 1898-April 13, 1961) was the editor of the Columbus Enquirer and continued working for the paper when it merged to become the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer. He worked with Julian Harris when the paper took its stand against the Ku Klux Klan for which it earned a Pulitzer Prize in 1926. He also covered the Phenix City, Alabama gambling cleanup in the 1950s.

Mrs. Tucker, born Daisy Snellgrove in Pinckard, Alabama on December 11, 1912, was a nurse during World War II, and later became the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer's chief librarian and head of research, besides writing book reviews and a weekly humor column. While researching a series of columns for the paper on the subject of mental illness, she made the cause one of her life-long passions, becoming the president of the Columbus Mental Health Association in 1959. She later became the publisher's secretary, before retiring in 1975. After retirement, she became a consultant to the Knight-Ridder newspaper chain. She died May 19th, 2009 at the age of 96.

Both Tuckers worked hard for the establishment of Columbus College, now Columbus State University.
