George W. Buck, one of Princeton's early settlers and a man highly respected by all with whom he was acquainted, died at his home, about three miles west of this village, last Sunday morning, February 8. On the preceding Wednesday
he was stricken with paralysis and on Friday, February 5, he lapsed into a state of unconsciousness from which he failed to emerge—passing away in seemingly peaceful sleep.
Services were conducted by Rev. Service at the home on Tuesday afternoon and the Methodist quartet sang a number of hymns. The obsequies, in spite of the cold weather, were largely attended and there were many beautiful floral offerings. The interment was in Oak Knoll cemetery and the pallbearers were John and William Kaliher, William Heckler, Nathan and Samuel Orton, and George Lamb.
George Washington Buck was born on a farm at Dover, Maine, in 1832, and from there moved to Massachusetts and learned the moulder's trade. In 1862 he was married to Aurilla Nelson Pratt. He was a veteran of the civil war, serving in a Rhode Island volunteer regiment. In 1873 he came to Princeton, where he conducted a meat market and later engaged in the lumber business. Eighteen years ago he moved upon the farm where he died. For 14 years Mr. Buck was a member of the Mille Lacs board of county commissioners and in that capacity performed his duties faithfully and well. He is survived by two sons, Orville and William of Greenbush, and four grandchildren. His wife died about three years ago.
Geo. W. Buck was a man of noble character—a patriot and a man whose honesty, either in public or private life, could not be questioned. He was a good-hearted and generous old gentleman and a kind and affectionate husband and father.
