II HI CITIZEN
The Methodist church was filled
to overflowing last Sunday morning
when the relatives and friends of the
late Charles H. Buck met to pay their
last earthly respects to a man who
was held in high esteem by all who
knew him.
Charles H. Buck was born in Han
over, Maryland, in the year 1887, and
at the time of his death was 34 years
of age. His parents reside in Mary
land, and he has one brother, Harry
Buck, residing in Cokeville. Mrj
Buck was taken ill a week ago Sun
day evening, and went to the hospital
His case was appendicitis, and about
midnight he was operated upon. He
came out of the operation in fine
manner and was regarded as being
out of danger, and his friends and
family presumed he was on the road
to recovery when announcement was
made Friday morning that he had
passed away at 6:20 o'clock that
'".V morning.
Mr. Buck came to Montpelier
twelve years ago and was
as a railway brakeman. Later he|
was appointed city night policeman
which position he held for five years.
After that he took up the occupation
of a private nightwatchman, and got
along very nicely beiny employed
.U t», leading »ul.... l««H.tlon.
in that capacity.
Eleven years ago Mr. Buck mar-1
ried Miss Florence Barrett, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Barret. Six
children were born to Mr. and Mrs.
Buck, the eldest of whom is 10 years
and the youngest under one year,
Mr. Buck had an ideal family circle,
and took great pride in his family.
TT - , . X , . ! -I
He was of a kind and helpful dispo
sition, and devoted all his spare time
to his home. He was a member of
the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men at the time of his death.
At the services held Sunday Rev.
Otto Ponath presided, and an able
sermon was preached by the Rev.
Ponath. President Ed. C. Rich was
the concluding speaker, and both
paid a high tribute to the character
of Mr. Buck. Interment was in the
Montpelier city cemetery.

ARE YOU PREPARED
FOR
April 1st is the date fixed
by the heads of the coal miners
unions in the United States for
the nation-wide walkout of min
ers in the coal producing indus
try. There is a wide difference
of opinion as to whether the big
strike will materialise. There
is every reason to believe it will.
At least as long as we are in the
grip Of winter we cannot afford
to take a chance of being caught
without fuel, so it seems the
wise thing for the people of Bear
Lake county to look at their coal
bins and make sure they have
eopgh fuel on hand to run them
the winter out._ s
