I have run into a lot of confusion between your Truman Buck and my ancester. Both the same age, etc. I have recently found an obitiuary for my Truman. He died in southern Minnesota in 1893. In the Stewartville Star (Minnesota) newspaper dated September 29, 1893 the following appeared in the High Forest news column. "Mr. Truman Buck, aged 82 years, who died at his home near Chatfield was buried here Sunday. He was a brother of E. D. Buck of this village, Wm. Buck of Racine and Geo. Buck of Dexter. The deceased moved from Illinois to this county some 30 odd years ago and was a well known and respected citizen. Bent, broken and scarred by the hand of time, the old pioneers are fast going down into the valley and crossing the dark river".
