    3. Hello list. I am doing research for a friend and have a tangled mess to unravel. I was wondering if anyone knows these BUCKS? I have a Joseph Victor BUCK, Sr. He was born in 1912, possibly in Indiana. Per his obituary in the East St. Louis Journal, when he died in 1868 at the age of 56, he had lived in ESTL for 52 years, so he moved to IL around 1914. He may have gone by the name Vic. His spouse(s) are not listed in the obit. 2 years before he died, he moved back to IN. I do not know if he and Alma (below) divorced or if she moved with him and then back to IL when he died. He married at an unknown age, possibly to a Delores. He had children Joseph Victor Buck, Jr, Thomas Buck, Sharon (married a COOK), and Delores (married an ECTON.) I do not know the birth dates of the children, nor the name or birth or death date or place for his wife. He is where things get tricky. At some point, Joseph Sr. remarried to Alma NOLAN.(b. 1924 in IN, d. 2000 in Collinsville, IL) NOLAN is listed as her maiden name in her obit, but she also has no spouses listed at all. She had at least one child at this time, Carole. Carole marries Joseph Buck, JR, around the age of 14. It is unknown if Alma and Joseph Sr marry first then Carole and Jr meet and marry, or if it is the other way around. It is said that Joseph Jr was in his late 20s and Carole was 14. Jr and Carole have a son, Joseph Victor BUCK III before they divorce. Alma NOLEN BUCK's obit lists several children. The male children are listed as BUCKS, so they may be Joseph Sr's. The female children are listed by married name, so I just have no idea.
