Buck, Charles E. - Grundy County farm land repays well those who spent their 
days cultivating it, for it is fertile, well watered and conveniently located 
with regard to transportation facilities.  Therefore some of the most level-
headed men of this locality are agriculturalists, and one of those who has 
devoted his life to farming is Charles E. Buck of Nettle Creek Township.  He 
was born in this township, June 4, 1867, a son of Edward and Jane (Mason) 
Buck.  When he was twenty-four years old he began working for himself and 
spent a season in Saratoga Township, but in 1894 began renting the homestead 
in Nettle Creek Township, and has developed into one of the most practical 
farmers of his township.

On January 22, 1895, Mr. Buck was united in marriage with Carrie Belle Drake, 
born in Goodland, Ind., a daughter of Eli Drake.  Mr. and Mrs. Buck have had 
the following children:  Edward, Ella, Laura, Hazel, Thelma, Adeline, Winaford 
and Henry V. Winaford died when eighteen months old.  Politically Mr. Buck is 
a Republican, but has never sought public office, and fraternally he belongs 
to the Mystic Workers.  In his neighborhood he has a wide circle of warm 
personal friends.
