DEATH INFORMATION: Ontario Genealogical Society cemetery transcription, page 63, number 274. Obituary from the Georgetown Herald (Georgetown, Esquesing Township, Halton County, Ontario, Canada) on Wednesday, March 10, 1926, page 2, column 1: WILLIAM G. BUCK By the death of William G. Buck on Saturday last at his home on Edith Street, after but three days' illness, one of Georgetown's best known and most highly respected citizens has been removed. Deceased was the second son of the late Alfred and Jane Buck and was born in Trafalgar 63 years ago, coming to Georgetown with his parents when but a small boy and residing here until his death. On June 15th, 1892, he was married to Rebecca Jackson who survives him. He is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Oliver McKay, and one brother, Mr. Robert Buck, both of Georgetown. Deceased was an adherent of the United Church, a member of Orion Lodge, I.O.O.F., Verdan Rebekah Lodge, and a Director of the Georgetown Arena Co. He was always interested in good clean sport and was himself a member of the old original Aetna lacrosse club. To he and the late Mr. H. H. Heartwell much of the credit is due for the erection of the splendid Arena in town. He was a great friend of the children and no man in town had more true friends among the boys and girls than Will Buck. Although handicapped for years by a rheumatic affliction he always looked on the bright side of life and his genial smile and friendly greeting will be sadly missed by the host of friends he leaves behind. The funeral on Monday afternoon to Greenwood Cemetery was in charge of the Oddfellows and Rebekahs who attended in a body. The church service at the home was conducted by Rev. Mr. Caldwell and Rev. Dr. Dickie, followed by the Rebekah service conducted by Miss Edna McDonald, N.G.; Mrs. V. Kentner, V. G., and Miss Mary Vanatter, Chaplain. The services at the grave were conducted by Rev. Caldwell and Rev. Griffin Thompson; Joseph Hall, Noble Grand, and C. E. Ruddy, Chaplain of Orion Lodge. The pall-bearers were:--M. L. Near, W. C. Anthony, Alfred Stull, E. McWhirter, Harold Cleave and Howard Kentner. There were many beautiful floral offerings contributed by Town Business Men, Verdan Rebekah Lodge, Orion Lodge, I.O.O.F. Arena Company, the Family, and friends from Thornton, Montreal, London, Toronto and town. Numerous letters of sympathy were received, also telegrams from Montreal and Miami, Florida. Those who attended the funeral from out of town were: Rev. Griffin Thompson, Hamilton; Rev. Mr. Dew, Miss Goodwin, Mr. Frank Goodwin, Thornton; Mrs. J. A. Kidd and Mr. Ferguson Kidd, Cookstown; Mrs. Wrenshall, London; Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Donghty and son Frank, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. McNabb, Mr. Fred Day, Mr. and Mrs. Carette, Mr. and Mrs. J. A.
