VICTIM OF PNEUMONIA
Wayne BUCK, Well Known Fairfield Young Man Passed Away Sunday.

Wayne E. BUCK passed away suddenly Sunday noon shortly after twelve o'clock at his home on North Third street after a weeks illness of pneumonia. Mr. BUCK was taken ill on Saturday, March 14 with a severe cold which rapidly developed into pneumonia. He grew steadily worse until Friday night when he seemed to get some better and the family began to hope that he might be spared to them.

Sunday morning he appeared better but was taken with a coughing spell about twelve o'clock and passed away without any warning.

Mr. BUCK was born near this city February 22, 1878 and grew to manhood here. On February 7, 1900 he was united in marriage to Miss Margaret SAPPENFIELD in this city. To them were born four children, Gale, Neil, Elizabeth and Ruth who with their mother are left to fight the battles of this world.

Beside his immediate family Mr. BUCK is survived by his mother Mrs. Anna BUCK of this city, two brothers A. V BUCK of Bonaparte, iowa, and Don of Birmingham, Alabama, and two sisters, Miss Nona of Glenwood, Iowa and Mrs. Pearl CROY of Birmingham, Alabama.

His brother Don will reach this city tonight and A. V. BUCK is already ministering to the stricken wife and little children(.) The hour of the funeral has not yet been arranged awaiting the arrival of his brother.

Mr. BUCK recently purchased the Carl blacksmith and machine shop in New Chicago and was just building up a nice little trade for himself when he was taken ill.

He was a member of the First Methodist church and was a young man well known and respected in this vicinity.

The bereaved wife is heart broken for another sorrow is added to her already heavy load. Her mother, Mrs. William SAPPENFIELD lies at her home on North Main street in a serious condition with an attack of the same dreaded disease(.) Her death is momentarily expected.

Much sympathy is being extended to Mrs. BUCK and her family during this time.

Death of Wayne BUCK.

Last Sunday, about noon, at his home in this city, occurred the death of Wayne BUCK.

Deceased was born here Feb. 22, 1878, grew to manhood here and was married in 1900 to Margaret SAPPENFIELD, who with four little ones are left husbandless and fatherless. He is also survived by his mother, Mrs. Anna BUCK; two brothers, A. V. of Bonaparte and Don of Birmingham, Ala.; two sisters, Miss Nona of Glenwood, and Mrs. Frank CROY of Florida. Mr. BUCK's last illness was of short duration. A heavy cold resulting in pneumonia caused his death. He was a well known and highly respected young man and but lately launched upon a business career for himself. He was a wagon and carriage maker by trade and a machinist of no mean ability. Some time ago he bought out C. C. Carl in New Chicago and was establishing a nice trade for himself and was hopeful of a successful future. In religious faith he was a Methodist and lived up to the principles he espoused. The sorely bereaved wife and little ones have the sympathy of the entire community and sincerely hope the threatened sorrow of losing her mother, who is very ill, be spared her.

Funeral service over the remains of Mr. BUCK were held yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Osborne and interment made in Evergreen cemetery.
