Default 3 frame parker history trail

This summer I purchased a 3 frame 2 barrel DH from Russ on here and have absolutely loved it. Great great gun. It was ordered in 1890s by M.E. Haight the owner of the mercantile in Crete NE. He sent it back for work and then later in 1913 or so it was sent back to have the 12 ga barrel added by a Mr. Julius J Buck.

I was able to find a decent amount of info on Haight and his family but found next to nothing on Buck. I broke through though when I found a listing for a julius j Bock connected with the Haight family.

He had a ton of info. Large rancher in Wyoming, Bank dorector, owned largest oilfield in Wyoming (his ranch) during the 30s, and was the first Wyoming resident the federal government went after for illegally fencing off public lands in 1909. So far he has been a fairly interesting individual. Anyway, just thought I would share the discovery.
