Obituary of Reuben Henry Harrison Buck 1847 - 1929

Reuben H. Buck

R. H. Buck was born December 19, 1847, and died June 3, 1929. He professed faith in Christ August, 1867, and united with Mt. Gilead congregation, moving to Madison County at the age of 26. He became a charter member of Maple Springs congregation in the year 1873, being made a ruling elder at that time.

Uncle Reuben was confined to his room for the last eleven years of his life, yet his faith in God grew stronger, and as his many friends would call they were greeted with a smile, and his great delight was to talk of his Savior and the many blessings he received.

Uncle Reuben was never known to complain during his affliction, but, like Job of old, his faith and trust in God could not be weakened. Uncle Reuben served as clerk of session for a number of years, was active in Sunday school work, serving as superintendent, and anything for the upbuilding of the community or carrying on of the Master's work. If by chance a brother fell by the wayside, he would go to him and say, "Brother, we want you to come back to church and to God, and I am praying that you may."

In the death of Uncle Reuben the community has lost one of its best citizens. The church feels the loss of a wonderful character, yet our loss is heaven's gain.

Therefore, be it resolved; first, that we bow in humble submission to our heavenly Father's will concerning all things.

Second, that we offer thanks to God for such a life and for the good example which has been in our community through the life of Uncle Reuben, which has been a great blessing to the Christians and the leading of many souls to Christ.

Third, that we express our deepest sympathy to the sorrowing wife, the heart-broken sons and daughters in the loss of their loved one, who beckons them come to that heavenly home, where there shall be no heartaches or partings, but all will be perfect bliss through the endless ages.

Fourth, that a copy of this be sent to the family and one spread on the church record and one sent to The Cumberland Presbyterian for publication.

       H. F. Matlock,
       J. T. Buck,
       J. T. McMurry.
