War her father was sheriff of
Yancey County which at that
time included Madison County >.
She wa3 one of eleven children
and was bom March 22, 1879, |
Her mother and , father - took
great interest in Mars, Hill Coll
ie and at one time after the j
Civil War saved the college from

In 1931 Mrs. Buck and David

Then Mr. Bueb bought ViTbUj*.
tahi and surrounding boundaries.
? Th>e were no roads in this sec
tion at that time and the Buck
Lumber Company (consisting of an
uncle James, David and a brother
Charles) had great plans for cut
ting and, hauling much virgin tim
ber, so they buht what they call
led a “tram” road and used a
logging train to haul the logs
and lumber out and the materials
they needed in to them. Mr. Buck
I tmilt a five/ room log cabin and
brought his family to—what wis
1 then called Grier’s Ball. The
-mountains were wiki then,
I with panthers screaming in the
night and the knock on an old
mountaineer’s door may be an
swered w:th a blast of “buck sh t.”
There were no doctors or teachers
available in this area so th-a h li
ber company brought a doc >r
to their community and hired a
private tutor to teach their
ohildr.h. Later roads were hu-lt
| all over the county and schools
were est&b'shed, partly thro gh
the influence, of her husband who
became attached to the Tar Heels
and decided he was here to stay.
He served several terms in the
state legislature In Raleigh try ng
to bring more progress and bet

Buck died inn 1939.
