After all of that, I backtracked and realized Commander Albert Buck never owned the house. It had instead passed to Fisher Ames Buck’s daughter, Alice May Buck, who died in August 1955. Presumably, she had no children.
And after that, ownership passed to Arline F. [Fallon] Vaughn (1898-1974), the daughter of George and Fanny (Buck) Fallon — Fisher’s daughter. Arline was employed for many years by Moore-McCormick Shipping Lines in New York. Her obituary listed no husband or children. She was buried at Hillside.
Also named in the proceedings was Rose Lee, presumably the remarried widow. The search goes on.
In short, by 1975 our house had apparently become a summer home or rental property under absentee ownership.
