Buck Lake Pioneers

Erected in memory of the pioneers of the Buck Lake community who settled here, starting in 1889.

Before the Soo Line Railway was built in 1893 and the advent of the Town of Milestone, their only market and source of supplies was Regina.

A Methodist Church was built 10 rods north in 1893 and there was a post office nearby. This was the social center for miles around and thrived as such till the Grand Trunk Railway came through and the Village of Gray was built in 1912.

The names of those interred here are on file in the Municipal Office, Wilcox.
