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:
“There is no event greater in life than the appearance of new persons about our hearth, except it be the progress of the character which draws them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“For me, the principal fact of life is the free mind. For good and evil, man is a free creative spirit. This produces the very queer world we live in, a world in continuous creation and therefore continuous change and insecurity. A perpetually new and lively world, but a dangerous one, full of tragedy and injustice. A world in everlasting conflict between the new idea and the old allegiances, new arts and new inventions against the old establishment.”
—Joyce Cary (1888–1957)
