                    Death Claims W. W. Buck After Long Illness
                Funeral Services are Held at Junction Cemetery Today

  After an illness of several months of heart trouble, W. W. Buck died at the Standifer
Hospital Wednesday afternoon and the funeral services were held at the Junction Cemetery
this (Thursday) afternoon, the Rev. Bolton Boone, pastor of the Methodist Church officiating.
  Mr. Buck has been in feeble health for several years, but last December he became seriously
ill and has been growing worse gradually until death releived him of his sufferings about 
4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon June 29.  He was removed to the hospital Tuesday.
  W. W. Buck was born in Port Lavaca, Texas, October 3, 1857.  When quite small the family
moved to New York State where he lived until 1881 when he returned to Texas, settling at
Hillsboro.  On December 18, 1882 he was married to Miss Corrie Stroud at Groesbeck, Texas.
To this union three daughters and two sons were born.  One daughter died in infancy and one
son, Stroud Buck, died in Junction on June 2, and was buried in the Junction Cemetery on 
June 2, 1913.  The wife and one son, Walter, and two daughters, Mrs. R. E. Homann and Mrs.
R. B. Curry, and other relatives survive.
  Mr. Buck was engaged in the jewelry business the greater part of his life, but in 1911
moved to Kimble County and engaged in the ranch business.  He has not been active in business
the past four or five years and has had his ranch leased.
  He was a member of the Methodist Church but had no lodge connections.
  The following acted as pall bearers:
  Jack Turner, Carl Wolf, E. O. Lowgren, Frank Cowsert, Earl Tracy and W. R. Eckert.
