  Notes	In the 1910 census of Platte Tp, Charles Mix Co, SD, Lewis Buck was living two dwellings from his mother. He was 42, a farmer with employees. His wife Minerva was 35, and they had been married 10 years. She had had but 2 children - Ethel who was 9, and John 4. With them was mother-in-law Mary Helm, a widow aged 76, born in Ohio. There were also two hired farm hands. Lewis Buck was of Platte, SD, when his mother died in 1919. The following is from a xerox sent by Al Fischer Dec 1995, sent to him by Shirley Rumsey Hatch, who reported it was "copied from a history book in the Register of Deeds office in Lake Andes SD." The publication would be after Jan 1942, for Robert Buck, son of George Lewis Buck, was reported as deceased. BUCK: LEWIS O'DELL BUCK was born September 30, 1867, at Bushnell, Illinois, to Henry and Mary (Rumsey) Buck. He died October 28, 1942 at Stickney, South Dakota. Lewis O. Buck was united in marriage to Minerva Helm on April 10, 1899, at Mason City, Iowa. Minerva was born October 27, 1879, at Mason City, Iowa, and passed away September 7, 1966, at Stickney, South Dakota. Both are interred in the Aurora Center Cemetery. Lewis O. Buck was baptized February 1900, in the Christian Church in Platte, South Daokota. He was a farmer all his life. Lewis and Minerva Buck had eight children: Ethel May born November 1, 1900, married Ray W. Holdefer [sic, family reported as Holdefila which seems less likley] and they had two children: Arlene May married Elbett [sic] Bonawitz. Howard W. married Helen Lewis. John Henry, born May 30, 1905, married Vera Howard; four children, Harold, Clarnece, Leonard, and Edith. George Lewis, born July 27, 1910, married Adah Hazel Thompson; three children, William (dec.), Robert (dec.), and Darlene May who married Gary R. Palmer. Walter William born September 23, 1913, married Sadie Barton. Edna Marie, born June 12, 1918, married Paul Wojcieschowski [sic, this surname found in my local phone book. Family reported it as Wojcleschowski, less likely in my opinion]; five childen, Mary Frances, Pauline, Paul Jr., Donald and Margaret Ann. Maybelle Lucille, born December 16, 1920, married John F. Vaneler Helder [sic, family reported the name as Vanderheiden, which seems more likely]; five children, Shirley, Dorothy Arlene, Rose, and Gladys. This was followed by the obituary which had been sent to Al Fischer in a handwritten copy, (see p.60-15b). The discrepancies in the names, as noted above, probably came through handwritten copies which were not too legible. [2]
