After studying law he was admitted to practice in 1825. In 1851 he settled in Lockport, and by his natural and acquired qualifications for his profession he soon gained a large practice. In 1853 he was elected district attorney and filled the office with distinction. He served as a member of the Board of Education twelve years and for several years was a United States commissioner. His death took place in 1880, while associated with his son, John H. Buck, in law practice.
