Mrs. Buck Dead

Mother of the Buck Brothers Dead – Resident of Portland Over 30 years

Mrs. Elizabeth Buck, relict of the late Hart Buck, and mother of the Buck 
brothers, the well known and successful farmers and stock buyers, died at her 
home east of town on Saturday night last, in the 66th year of her age.

Deceased was a native of Huntingtonshire, England, where she was born Nov. 19th 
1830.  She came to America from London in 1851, and settled at Avon, Ohio.  
Here she married Hart Buck and with him came to Portland in 1864, and settled 
on the farm where she died.

Besides many friends among her neighbors she leaves children as follows: 
Bartley, Mary, George, Edwin and Ernest, and two step-daughters, Mrs. Edwin 
Flint, of East Canan, N. H., and Mrs. M.V. Terrill of Portland.  She has four 
sisters residing on the island of Tasmania, off the south coast of Australia, 
and where her mother died a couple of years ago at the advanced age of 92 years.

She was an Episcopalian in belief, but had made her church home with the 
Baptists for some years, and from which church the funeral services were 
conducted yesterday afternoon and were largely attended, Rev. Bower officiating.
