JOHN BUCK DEAD AT CARROLLTOWN
Former Sheriff and Legislator Passes Away of Pneumonia After Long Illness In Eighty-Seventh Year
John Buck, an ex-Sheriff of Cambria County and a former member of the State Legislature, died at 10 o'clock last night at his residence in Carrolltown, in his eighty-seventh year. Mr. Buck's death was due to pneumonia, which developed soon after the sudden death of his wife, Mrs. Regina Sherry Buck, on November 12, 1909. The funeral of Mr. Buck will take place on Tuesday morning from St. Benedict's Roman Catholic Church, with the Rev. Father Leopold Probst, O.S. B., in charge. Interment will be made at Carrolltown.
The deceased was one of a family of eleven children, all of whom have passed away except Francis J. Buck, of Carrolltown, and William J. Buck, of Allegheny Township. He was a son of Joseph Buck, who settled on the John Zern farm in Carroll Township, where John Buck was born on December 11, 1823. John Buck built the grist-mills known as Buck's Mills and engaged in the milling business until 1861, when he was elected Sheriff, defeating James D. Hamilton. Three years later he located at Carrolltown and engaged in the mercantile business. He was a staunch Democrat, but served as Postmaster of that place during both terms of the administration of President Grant because of the fact that there was not a Republican then living in that vicinity.
In 1874 Mr. Buck and the Hon. John Hannan, of the First Ward, were elected on the Democratic ticket as Representatives to the General Assembly, defeating Thomas H. Lapsley and John C. Gates. They were the first persons to represent Cambria in the House after the district was changed from one to two members. Mr. Buck continued in the mercantile business until early in the 90's, when he retired. He was an active member of the Roman Catholic Church and a man having much influence in the community in which he resided for so many years.
John Buck and Miss Regina Sherry were united in marriage at Loretto by the Rev. Father Joseph Gallagher on June 5, 1849. The following children are living: Celestine A. Buck and Mrs. James B. Eck, of Carrolltown; Dr. Michael J. Buck, of Pittsburg; A. W. Buck, of Ebensburg; S. H. Buck of Elyria, Ohio; Dr. J. P. Buck of Chicago; Edward Buck, of Tonopah, Nev; Mrs. James V. Scanlan, of Ebensburg; Ambrose C. Buck, of Braddock; Vincent J. Buck, of Turtle Creek, and Lambert Buck, of Hastings. Besides these, he is survived by forty-nine grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren, together with two brothers, mentioned above.
