COUDERSPORT, POTTER COUNTY, PENN. THURSDAY, JUNE 16, 1910
DEATH AND DESTRUCTION IN BOROUGH
Only Charred Remains Found of Bernard Buck. Clarence Buck, His Father, Fatally Burned ann Died Within a Few Hours
- MANUFACTURING PLANT LAID IN ASHES. LOSS ABOUT $5,000 -
Coudersport Overwhelmed By Terrible Calamity That Came Monday Afternoon, Leaving Sorrow and Loss in its Wake, Pathetic Double Funeral.
Two useful lives were sacrificed in the flames that consumed the plant of the Buck Explosive Company, located just outside the boro limits, on Monday afternoon. Bernard Buck, aged nineteen years, was so burned that only the charred trunk of his body was left for burial; Clarence Buck, his father was so fatally burned that he died at midnight Monday. The fire was caused by a defective part in the mixer, which was used for mixing the composition and a new part had been ordered to take the place of this one. The friction of the machine finally caused a spark which ignited the powder. At once the smoke was thick and suffocating. The father escaped from the building but Bernard must nave become confused and overcome by the smoke was unable to make his exit. When the father reached the fresh air and safety and found that his boy had not followed, with rare heroism he plunged back into the burning building in a vain attempt to rescue him. Again and again he came to a window to get breath that he might try once again to save the boy, until finally he was himself rescued. Portions of his face was burned to a crisp and across the abdomen the burns were so deep and terrible that there was no hope of saving his life and at midnight he died. Surely Clarence Buck fills a hero's grave.
The fire proved the worth and value of the powder that Clarence Buck had invented and worked many years to make of it a success. The building burned with all the powder stored herein, without explosion, except that there was a loud report when the flames reached some caps that were stored in the building. Had the powder been of the ordinary explosive kind, many other lives would have been lost and much greater damage done. Mr. Buck, beside being the inventer of the powder was one of the principal stock holders in the company there being associated with him,
- Postmaster Coleman Smith,
- J. B. Steel of the basket factory and
- Cephes Niles.
The building and all the contents were a total loss, amounting to about $5,000 with no insurance.
The funeral of father and son, was held at the home on Wednesday afternoon under the direction of Schutt & Gillon and was attended by many sympathizing friends. Both father and son had been glass workers and belonged to the glass makers union and more than a hundred employees from the glass plant attended the funeral in a body, beside many employees from the basket factory. Dr. W. C. Wilbor gave the funeral address and
- many friends followed the remains to their last resting-place in the Eulalia cemetery.
Clarence Buck was the son of Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Buck, of Wellsboro. His father was here, to attend the funeral but the mother was overwhelmed with grief and unable to come.
- He was born in Covington, Pa., forty-one years ago.
His brothers
- Albert Buck and wife from Wellsboro and
- Charles Buck and wife and sons,
-- Alvoid and
-- James from Port Allegany and
- his adopted brother George Buck and wife of Wellsboro and
- Frank Miller,
- Mrs. Cora Doane and
- Orson Dartt, of Wellsboro,
were preesnt at the funeral. The pall bearers for Bernard Buck were,
- Arthur Baker,
- George Durst,
- Ross Ackley,
- Vernon Gouchie,
- Arthur Johnson
and for the father,
- Louis Zellers,
- Glenn Webb,
- William Durst,
- Henry Seaman,
- Walter Keagle and
- Leon Torpey.
The wife and mother was so shocked by the terrible tragedy that for some time her condition was serious.
Four daughters and sisters survive,
- Florence, - Anna,
- Veva and - Xenia
and two sons and brothers
- Clarence Jr. and - Mortimer.
The eldest daughter was in Wellsboro at the time of the fatal event and as soon as she was notified she hurried to Coudersport by motor car, hoping to be in time to see her father alive, but he had passed away before her arrival.
It has been reported that the secret of the composition of this powder was lost with the death of Mr. Buck, but this is not true as other menbers of the company are familiar wth it and the plant will be re-built and the work continued.
Robert Mick had a narrow escape. He became confused and Walter Biezer another employee seeing his danger literally threw him from the window. Mick sustained a badly sprained arm as a result. Mortimer Buck was also employed in the factory but escaped uninjured.
