Lucy Ann Buck, daughter of Wm. and Harriet Buck, was born near Crawfordsville, Indiana, April 3, 1858 and passed away at her home in Blockton at 5:30 Wednesday evening, Oct. 9, 1935, at the age of 78 years, 7 months and 6 days.
On March 15, 1875, she was united in marriage in Marshall county, Illinois to Alsiness [Alsinas] G. [len] Black. To this union six children were born Glen, of Sheridan, Mo.; Mrs. W. B. Weese, of Blockton; Emma, deceased; Earnest, of Clifton, Colo.; Charles, of Clearfield and Walter, deceased. Her companion also preceded her in death on April 4, 1904.
Mr. and Mrs. Black came west in 1876 and settled in Iowa. Later moved to Worth county, Mo., where they resided for a number of years. After the death of her companion she and her youngest son, Walter, made their home together until his untimely death about one year ago.
She confessed her faith in Christ under the ministry of Rev. Watkins and affiliated with the Christian church at Isadora many years ago, later transferring her membership to the Christian church in Blockton where she held her membership at the time of her death.
As long as her health would permit, she was very attentive to the church services and doing what she could to further the Master's work. When she could no longer go to church, she found comfort in studying the Bible at home.
Her faith in the Good Master led her to a life of devotion to her family and friends. She, like the mother pictured by Solomon, could hear her children arise and call her blessed. Though she suffered much she kept it to herself and thus won the admiration of her many friends for her faith and patience.
Besides her children she leaves to mourn her departure six grandchildren, nine great grandchildren, one brother, Charles F. Buck, of Lacon, Illinois; a sister, Mrs. Martha Fike, of Laverne, California and a host of other relatives and friends.

yesterday morning of consumption.
Mrs. Drumm had been
in poor health for a year, but about three weeks ago she regained strength
sufficiently to be able to walk about the house, and no one suspected that her
life would be brought to a close so soon. She retired on the evening before her
death feeling much better than she had felt for a long time, but she suddenly
took seriously worse about 5 o’clock in the morning and at 9 o’clock her spirit
passed to the great beyond.
The deceased leaves a husband, a father and mother who live
near Hopkins, and a host of friends to mourn the loss of an affectionate wife,
a dutiful daughter and a steadfast companion. ---Bedford Times.

treatment, but owing to her weak condition both mentally and physically, her
