Fred Buck
History of Montana, by Joaquim Miller, 1894 

Fred Buck, deceased, was for many years on of Stevensville's 
most enterprising and respected merchants. 
He had been, upon his first arrival in Stevensville, in 1868, 
and for five years afterward, the partner of 
his brothers, Amos and Henry Buck and up to the time of his 
death, which occurred January 31, 1890, a partner 
of his brother Henry. 

Fred Buck was born in Monroe County, Michigan, in the year 
1840 and his history is almost identical with that 
of his brothers, a sketch of whom appears elsewhere in this 
work, with however a few exceptions. When the 
rupture between the North and South occurred, he was enlisted 
in May 1861. Immediately upon his entering 
serivce he was elected Corporal, and from time to time was 
promoted for his gallentry until he became Captain 
of his company. A truer, braver soldier than Fred Buck never 
faced the enemy's fire. 

Mr. Buck was married in 1889 to Dell Sybrant, a native of 
Pennsylvania. Their only child, Fred S., is 
now four years old and is residing with his widowed mother. 

In his business Mr. Buck was equally as successful as his 
brothers and left to his widow and son a most 
delightful home and a snug fortune. He was a devoted and 
loving husband, was ranked with Montana's best 
citizens and his death was a sad bereavement, not only to 
his family but also to a large circle of
appreciative friends.
