Salem Pastor Dies in Portland
The Rev. J. R. Buck, 76, for 17 years pastor of St. Joseph's
Catholic church in Salem died at St. Vincent's hospital, Portland,
Tuesday morning after a lingering illness. Following his retire
ment at St. Joseph's in 1934 he f
made his home at a sylvan re
treat about three miles south
cast of Salem which he called
"St. Mary's of the Woods." In
til is comfortable little domicile
he constructed a small chapel
and there whenever his health
permitted he offered holy mass.
According to his life story as
recounted in "A Convert Pas
tor's Autobiography" published
in 1941, he was born in St. Pe
ter, Minn., February 9, 1870.
his father a native of Maryland
and his mother's home was in
Philadelphia, Pa. Father Buck
was brought up in the Presby
terian faith and following a
schooling he termed "not ex
cessive," he obtained certificate
to teach and followed that vo
cation for several years in Daw
son and Sheldon, N. Dak., and
Barnesville, Minn.
In addition to many other ac
complishments Father Buck was
proficient in music both as a
vocalist and organist and often
during his ministry in the Ca
tholic church and as a layman
in the Presbyterian faith he had
assisted in choir work and pre
sided at the organ.
Following his decision to join
the Catholic church Father Buck
entered St. John's seminary at
Collegeville, Minn., and he
facetiously remarks in his auto
biography, the seminary "Never
had a more awkward, stupid
student than I was."
Later the young seminarian
came -to the Benedictine order at
Mt. Angel and there completed
his theological studies and was
ordained to the priesthood by
the late Most Rev. Archbishop
Alexander Christie, ot the Port
land archdiocese. The ordina
tion took place on June 5, 1909.
In his first priestly years he
had missions at Forest Grove,
Verboort, Cornelius, Gaston and
after eight years he was called
to Salem in 1917, and it was
during the trying period of the
'flu' epidemic and the arduous
work that developed upon him
in caring for the spiritual and
physical needs of the afflicted
that Father Buck's health be
came Impaired, later necessi
tating his retirement from ac
tive duty in his parish.
Among surviving relatives is
a" sister, Mrs. M. Sharpe, who
resided with him at his country
home the past few years.
Final funeral services will be
held at St. Joseph's church in
Salem, according to Rev. Theo
dore J. Bernards, pastor at St.
Joseph's, who succeeded Father
Buck in the pastorship in 1934.
Arrangements for the last sol
emn rites will be announced la
ter. The Most Rev. Edward D.
Howard, archbishop of Portland
will officiate at the ceremonies.
