Buck, Mrs. Dr. (née Keturah AdelaideHowell)

Death of Mrs. (Dr.) Buck.
With the passing away on Thursday morning of Mrs. Buck, wife of Anson Buck, M.D., M.R.C.S. (Eng.) of Palermo, this county has lost one of its oldest native residents. Most of her seventy-four years were lived within three miles of her birthplace. Mrs. Buck, nee Keturah Adelaide Howell, was the second daughter of the late John Triller and Hannah Howell, of U.E. Loyalist stock, one of a family of nine. She is survived by two sisters and one brother - Mrs. James Teeter, of Burlington, Mrs. Clinton P. Lawrence, of Palermo, and Mr. George Howell, of Grimsby. Her family, besides her husband, one of Canada's oldest physicians, having been fifty-three years now in active service, consists of two daughters, Mrs. Colin C. McPhee, of Montreal, and Mrs. Colin H. Campbell, Winnipeg, wife of the Attorney-General of Manitoba, and an adopted daughter, Miss May Mathieson. Mrs. Buck possessed a quiet and retiring disposition, and a strong and cultivated mind. Her passion was to be of service. She was deeply interested in her husband's profession, and in the early days of his practice did much to help him in a practical way. A short illness of two weeks of pleuro-pneumonia proved too much for her feeble frame. While she enjoyed life she said, "I would not live alway." On Saturday she was laid to rest beside her grandfathers and kindred in the old Methodist Cemetery, Palermo.
