TREVAN BUCK, who has been living in retirement at Eldorado, Blair County,
Pa., since 1893, was for many years engaged in agricultural pursuits on the
old home place in Logan Township, and was born February 21, 1843, in Center
County, Pa., a son of Jacob and Nancy (Woolheater) Buck.
     Jacob Buck at an early period came from Huntingdon County, Pa., to
Center County, but subsequently returned to his native county for a time, but
in the spring of 1853 came to Blair County and purchased about 169 acres of
farm land in Logan Township, which partly forms what is now known as
Eldorado. Here he spent the remainder of his life engaged in agricultural
pursuits. He married Nancy Woolheater, who was also a native of Huntingdon
County, Pa., and of their family three sons and seven daughters are living.
One son, William Harrison, who served in the Civil War, was killed in the
battle of the Wilderness; Ira, who served in the same regiment, died shortly
after the war as a result of exposure; Samuel David, who lives in Missouri,
served in an Ohio regiment. John Adam Buck, who lives in Missouri, was the
only one of the five sons who did not serve in the war, being but an infant
at the time.
      Trevan Buck was two or three years old when his parents removed to
Huntingdon County, where they resided for about eight years, and then came to
Blair County. Here he was reared to maturity and subsequently engaged in
farming the home place until 1893, since which time he has lived in
retirement on a tract of three acres, which is a part of the homestead, and
is located in the borough of Eldorado. His education was obtained in the
common schools. On August 27, 1861, he enlisted in Co. F., 76th Pa. Inf., and
was mustered out August 27, 1864, from the l0th Army Corps. He was twice
wounded, first at Pocotaligo Creek, when his right thigh was injured, and in
July, 1863, was wounded through the right arm at the second assault on Ft.
Wagner. On July 23, 1863, he was detailed as recruiting officer at Pittsburg
to enlist and forward men to the front, and after spending thirteen months on
that detail was mustered out. He is a member of the U.V.L., No. 17, of Altoona.
     Mr. Buck is a Republican in politics, and has served in the various
township offices, having served nine years as school director, nine years as
auditor, and eleven years as supervisor. He is a member of the First Lutheran
Church of Altoona.
     On December 26, 1869, Mr. Buck was joined in marriage with Miss Martha
E. Lindsey, who was born in Frankstown Township, and is a daughter of Davis
and Martha (Claybaugh) Lindsey. Mr. and Mrs. Buck had the following children:
Samuel Ira, who married Emma Fluke, is a resident of Altoona; Jacob Hays, who
is also a resident of Altoona, married Ella Feather, and they have two
children, Pearl and Verne; Mary, who married Blair A. Feather, who lives on a
farm adjoining that of our subject; and one who died in infancy.
