that proved bitter disappointment to
Miss Kent. who was very proud Of her
stage debut.

GEORGE w. BUCK
DIED WEDNESDAY
Well Known Resort Keeper
SuCCun1bS After Long
Period of Illness.


that George w. Buck had passed
away about 3 O'Clock that after
noon at the Spider Lake Resort at
Manitowish. While it was known
that Mr.. Buck had been in i'll
health for some time past the news
of his demise was none the less a
shock to his many friends in Hur-
ley and vicinity. He had been all
ing for a year past and last sum-
mer spent considerable time at the
Ashland hospital. His death, which
came sudden and unexpected, was
caused by general debility on ac-
count of old age.
George Washington Buck was
born in the state of New York July
8, 1910, and therefore would have
been IA years old the sixth Of next
month. He had been a resident of
Iron county for the past 20 years,
residing at Spider Lake, twelve
miles from Manitowish, where he
built up a resort which has become
known far and wide and is the ha-
ven for hundreds of tourists every
season. Mr. Buck was veteran of
the Civil war and has a war record
which is an interesting one, the
full details of which we are unable
to give on account of not having
the data at hand. He was a mem
Der of the First Minnesota Regi-
ment, that gallant band of fighters
which played such an important
part in the Civil war. He took part
in eighteen battles, served six
months in Libbey prison and was
wounded three times. His exploits
on the field of battle and the many
experiences which befell him dur
ing his term in the army have been
listened to with the greatest of in
terest by those who have been for
tunate to hear him tell of them.
The surviving relatives are a
wife, one daughter, Nina, and two
sons. Fsyette and Roy The re-
mains were shipped to Wausau for
burial.
In the passing of MI. Buck Iron
county loses one of it's most con
spicuous citizens. He had a wide
acquaintance and his demise will
be a great loss. Coming as he did
to this beautiful Wisconsin lake re-
gion in the early pioneer days he
soon realized the advantages to be
gained by proper exploitation OF
its natural beauties and together
with his sons built up a resort and
tourist business which has given
him fame and no doubt its proper
remuneration Spider Lake Resort
is known as one of the most beau-
tiful and most up-to-date in the
whole northern part of Wisconsin
and Mr. Buck and his sons spared
no pains to make it such Not alone
will he be missed by his many
friends in this vicinity but among
the tourists from the large centers
of population who annually visit
this lake region will MI. Buck 5
passing be deplored
