Charles Romanzo Buck was born in Schuyler County, New York, on February 6, 1848. He was married to Emma M. Davis in 1875 in Townsend, Schuyler County, New York. He was graduated from Genesee Wesleyan Seminary, Lima, Livingston County, New York; was principal of a school in Cohocton, Steuben County, New York, for five years, and came into Genesee conference in 1878. He served as pastor at Sonora, 1881-1883; Avoca, 1884-1886; Hammondsport, 1887-1888; North Parma, 1889-1892; supernumerary, 1893-97; Pavilion, 1898; Pekin, 1899; Holley, 1900-1903; Castile, 1904-1909; Waterport, Kuckville and Kenyonville, 1910; retired, 1911.
He lived at Webster, New York a number of years, until his wife died in 1918. After that he made his home with his only daughter, Mrs. Mabel Hawkins of Rochester, New York, spending his winters in Belleview, Florida. He was faithful in his calling, serving each charge with a spirit of consecration and devotion. During the winters of his last years, which he spent in Belleview, Florida, he still enjoyed the work of the church and still preached occasionally. He served the church in Belleview as Treasurer, giving liberally himself. The little church was filled each service, because the people had a "mind to work." He was a true servant of God to the end of his life. On his way to Florida, when driving through Rochester with his daughter, Mrs. Hawkins, a car crashed into her car with fatal results to Rev. Buck, he never regained consciousness, and passed away nearly two weeks later, August 14, 1935.
His funeral was held in Webster, New York, Rev. John Wesley Searles officiating, giving a fitting tribute to his consecrated life. He was buried by the side of his wife. The writer was always conscious of the dignity and courtesy of the personality of Brother Buck, which endeared him to his many friends.
