• Married Name: 1961; Buck
• Residence*: 1962; Brighton Twp., Northumberland Co., Ontario; "So, in order to be back in nature, Jim purchased the Brighton farm and got a job transfer to Trenton." ... "We came to Brighton a year lagter in 1962, and here I am still on the farm .. " per Brighton's Own, June 28 2018.³
• Note*: 28 June 2018; Brighton, Northumberland Co., Ontario; "Brighton's Own: Golden Girl; Betty Buck still resides on farm she moved to back in 1962; Nonagenarian Betty Buck, inherited her mother's genes. Her Mon lived to 98. "My mother emigrated from Aberdeen, Scotland and met my father after he came back home to Bancroft from seeing heavy action in the First World War. They got married on Christmas Day, and decided to make their fortune out west." Although they did not make their fortune, they gained something far more precious: Buck was born in the small town of Green Meadows, Alberta. A year-and-a-half later, the family returned to Bancroft where they would raise two sons and another daughter. In 1938, when her father and eldest brother went to the Second World War, the rest of the family moved to Toronto where her Mom had relatives. At 17, Buck went to work in the Robert Simpson Company. She would remain there for 15 years. "I was quite independent, a trait I inherited from Dad. In Toronto, I met my future husband Jim, a young man from Trenton who came home from the war to a job in Canadian Pacific Railway as a train engineer. I met him at the Masonic Hall New Year's Even Dance. We went together for 13 years, as friends. Jim loved hunting with Corey Scriver's local Brighton gang and we came here every year to the Masonic New Year's dances. One day, a friend told Jim of a 90-acre farm for sale here and said, "Why don't you buy it?" So, in order to be back in nature, Jim purchased the Brighton farm and got a job transfer to Trenton. There was just one more thing he had to do: "He asked me, 'Would you consider getting married and moving down to the country?' I discussed it with my mother. And she liked him better than she liked me. (Laughing.) Anyway, we finally got married when I was 38. We came to Brighton a year later in 1962, and here I am still on the farm (in a Heritge House) and Jim has been gone for 16 years. He was a good man. Over the years, the happy couple travelled - a lot. While seeing the world, Buck also did tons of volunteer work. She canvased for the Cancer Society and MS for close to 40 years. At 95, she is still active with the Mason's Eastern Star going on 31 years, and the Women's Institute fo 35 years. She is a glowing example of the active golden girl: "I never give up. That's nt my nature. If I can do it, I'm going todo it. I still go to a lot of lunches and birthday parlties, any excuse to socialize. I tend to my own flower beds and do my own housework." He nugget of wisdom: "Don't do anybody any harm. And if you can't find anything good thing good to say, then keep youor mouth shut. I don't believe in gossip." by Vic Schukov, Brighton's Own, The Brighton Independent, June 28, 2018.³
