Later Life
Buck ended up living long enough to enjoy freedom again after his release from prison. He eventually died in 1915 of natural causes, unlike his brothers, all of whom all died violent deaths. The lawmen who protected the citizens of Middletown breathed more easily thereafter, because law and order were easier to maintain after the passing of Buck.

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“I, for one, have never in my life come across a perfectly healthy human being.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“We cannot discuss the state of our minorities until we first have some sense of what we are, who we are, what our goals are, and what we take life to be. The question is not what we can do now for the hypothetical Mexican, the hypothetical Negro. The question is what we really want out of life, for ourselves, what we think is real.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
