| 5015 | from "The Paw Paw True Northerner", 29 Jun 1892 (chroniclingamerica.com) Obituary. It is a sad task to chronicle the tale of death even when told of him who is gathered unto his fathers as the sheaf of ripened grain is garnered in; but when it must be written of One standing in the dawning of manhood, it is sadder still, and the pen falters over its mournful theme. On the 9th of July, 1873. Percy, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Buck, first saw the light of day in Hamilton township, removing with his parents to this place when yet a small boy, throughout his brief life being sheltered by his parents from every earthly trial save those inseparable from delicate health. Hand in hand with his sister Gertrude, who is but sixteen months younger, he had passed through the different phases of school-life until they stood side by side in the class of '92, looking fondly forward to the well-earned honors of Commencement week. In February an attack of grip had laid the foundation of the heart trouble that soon developed, and Percy was several times compelled to leave school for a short period; still, he could not contemplate the thought of his class graduating without him, and so perseveringly labored on with his oration until it was completed. But when the longed for week arrived, the ambitious boy lay in the grasp of Death, with every breath a struggle, while loving friends and sorrowing class-mates hoped vainly for his recovery. Without one murmur he bore the pain, till on the eve of the graduating exercises all hope faded away, and it was scarcely thought he could survive the night; yet he lingered until Sunday evening and then passed into "the dawning" of that other life where there shall be no more night. The obsequies occurred this morning at the home, and were largely attended by his young friends, also by Brodhead Post, of which the father of deceased is Commander. Rev. A. C. Jones officiated,and tho remains were laid in their last resting place on Prospect Hill by the hands of loving school-mates. | Buck, Percy M (I11215)
