many are the interesting reminis-
cences that Mr. Buck tells from those
days.
The reverses included some dry
years, once hailstorm and another
year-that was in 1S99-a real Ne
braska cyclone. The cyclone wiped
out every building on Mr.. Bucks
farm and killed some of the livestock.
The family was saved by running
away from the buildings and lying
in the field, only about 40 rods from
the path of the cyclone.
Retired I'm ASkOv.
In 1909 the Buck family moved to
Askov, Mr.. Buck then building the
large residence now occupied by the
Lindegaard family. Ten years later,
in 1919, Mrs. Buck passed away and
since then he has made his home
with his children in this community.
He has lived retired life since COM
ing to Askov twenty years ago, but
always active, alert and abreast of
the times, an interesting character.
Of his five sturdy children, all good
substantial citizens, and another
source of pride for the old gentleman,
three reside in the Askov community.
They are Mrs. Fred johnson, Holger
r. and Axel r. Buck. Ewald, the
Oldest of the boys, lives at Pasadena,
