Death of E.P. Buckner.

Undated article from the Nannie Brown Collection; probably extracted
from The Madison Times.

“E.P. Buckner was born in Lexington, Rockbridge county, Virginia, April
4, 1848. Died in Madison, Missouri, May 24, 1903. The announcement of
this event will bring sorrow to his many relatives and friends at a
distance, as well as those in this immediate vicinity.
Deceased cam to Madison in 1879, and for nearly 28 years was engaged in
the drug business being one of the best pharmacists in this part of the
state. He was married to Miss Lulu V, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Wm. B. Walker, May 11, 1884. To this union were born two children,
Edwin and Ray, who have grown from infancy to manhood and womanhood in
our midst.
Mr. Buckner had been in failing health for two years, and from the first
had the best medical advice, but receiving no benefit from this source
tried a change of climate. He spent a short time in Colorado and then
went to Mississippi where he spent the winter, returning just eleven
weeks to the day previous to his death. He fully realized his condition
and expressed himself as ready and willing to go when the call came.
He was laid to rest in the Madison cemetery Monday afternoon, May 25, by
the Masonic order of this place, of which he had been a faithful member
for ten years. The large concourse of friends who followed his remains
to its last resting place is evidence of the high esteem in which he was
held. As a friend he was true, as a neighbor he was kind, but in the
family circle there was the highest appreciation of the (virtues) of his
heart for there they (were) the brightest.
The Times deeply (unknown) with the widow and the (orphans) in this sad
bereavement and (unknown) that God will fulfill his (promise) and be a
father to the fatherless and a husband to the widow and pour the oil of
consolation into these hearts on whom he has laid the hand of
affliction.”
