Buck, Anson, Dr.

IN MEMORIAM
DR. ANSON BUCK
One of the notable figures of this county passed away at the hospital in Toronto on Good Friday. The career of Dr. Anson Buck was interesting and eminently helpful. He had the distinction of practising medicine for about a year and six months prior to attaining the age of 21 years, and was also married before reaching his majority. After having attended the Grammar school at Palermo he went to Toronto to take a course in the Royal College of Medicine, and was the last living graduate of his year from that institution. For the past eleven years Dr. Buck was an invalid, an attack of paralysis in 1908 compelling him to withdraw from the sphere of his former activities. He succeeded his brother as Reeve of Trafalgar Township, and was 40 years Councillor and Reeve. He also filled the position of Warden. Perhaps the greatest joy of his declining years was in viewing the enforcement of the Ontario Temperance Act, of which he was a strong supporter. Deceased was born in 1833, and married Miss Keturah Adelaide Howell, daughter of Mr. John Triller Howell, of this county. She predeceased him in 1906. A daughter, Mrs. Colin Campbell, wife of the late Attorney-General of Manitoba, came home for the funeral, which took place Tuesday of last week at the Palermo cemetery.
