Hello, I am new to the list and enjoy it very much. My family lived in Berien Springs for many years. My maiden name is Arney and my maternal grandparents were Porter A. Buck and Ella L. Shaw. I have info on the Buck family dating back to the 1850's. I have the book "History of Suak County WI, 1880" that has info on the Buck family. I will try to put this info on list ASAP. I also have a family Bible that has these entries that conect to the Shaw family line.

Green - January 27, 1873 Eli Gilbert Main and Francis E. DeGarmo - March 26, 1877 I have no place of birth or death on any of the above but would be interested to hear if any of you have any more info on the. I haven't made a sure conection but I believe that Albert S. Green would be my Grandmother, Ella (Shaw) Buck's line. I have also come across a news paper clipping that might be of intrest to some. This person was married to my Great Uncle, Paul Buck. I do not know what news paper this came from, it is just a clipping, any identifacation was clippied away. But doing the math the article had to be printed in 1982. Retired Postmistress Dead at 85: Mrs. Velma (Sutherland)Buck, 85, retired postmistress of the Sister Lakes Post office, died Monday at Martin Luther Memorial Home, South Haven. She had resided at 1160 Roslyn Road, Benton Harbor. Mrs. Buck was born Aug. 20, 1897, in Benton Harbor, the daughter of the late Charles and Maggie Sutherland, longtime Sister Lakes resort owners. She served as postmistress for 31 years at the Sister Lakes Post Office, retiring in 1955. Funeral arrangements were incomplete this fore-noon at the Fairplain Chapel of Florin Funeral Service, Benton Harbor. Friends may call beginning 4 PM Wednesday at the chapel. Memorials may be made to Michigan Heart Association. She is survived by one sister, Mrs. Worth (Margaret) Miller of Benton Harbor. Her husband, Paul, preceded her in death in 1944. I hope this info will help some of you. Sue __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - online filing with TurboTax http://taxes.yahoo.com/
