Valley Echo, 14 Feb 1891
Chas. G. Buck was born at Keyville, N.Y. March 2, 1835.  Afterwards, his 
father moved to Saranac, N.Y., where the old homestead now stands.  Chas. 
came to Lock Haven, Pa. in 1859.  IN 1867 he moved to Buck Hollow, Vermont, 
and engaged in farming for two years, when he came back to Lock Haven.  He 
then engaged in sawmills and lumbering principally at Kettle Creek and 
Osceola until May 1875, when he came to Winterburn where for thirteen years 
during the summer he engaged it filling on the Craig & Son saw mill without 
losing a single day.  Between the years of 1878 and 1884 with P.C. Gould, 
under the firm name of Gould & Buck, he did the stocking in the winter for 
Mr. Craig.

In June 1885, Mr. Buck and his son Garritt A. engaged in the mercantile 
business under the firm name of C.G. Buck & Son.  In 1888 he quit tiling to 
give his whole time to the mercantile business.  A few months afterwards he 
was stricken with the disease which after long suffering caused his death on 
Feb. 4 1891.

In appearance Mr. Buck was distinguished and in deportment most gentlemanly.  
A kind husband and father and a most exemplary citizen.  He was a faithful 
and enthusiastic Odd Fellow for over 26 years and the fraternity showed him 
true care and substantial kindness during his long illness.

The funeral at Winterburn on Feb. 6 was very largely attended, the Odd 
Fellows and P.O.S. of A. turning out in force and having their impressive 
ceremonies at the tomb.  Rev. L.M. Brady and C.L. Avery as director had 
charged and the interment was in Bundy Cemetery.  Mr. Buck's home lodge, 
Clinton NO. 98, of Lock Haven, was represented by L.M. Smale.
