Death of Good Man
W. T. Buckle, Civil War Veteran Passes Away After Short Illness
Mr. W. T. Buckle whose death was briefly mentioned Monday, died at his home on Vine street Monday morning, April 3d, 1911, of pneumonia. The news of his death was received with much surprise about town, it not being generally known that he was unusually ill, but he was taken down a week before. Mr. Buckle had been more or less an invalid for many years with stomach trouble, but had been up and about all winter and was up town a week ago last Saturday.
Full arrangements at this writing had not been made for the funeral services or the disposition of the body, but Rev. Mr. Charrington will conduct the services at his late home and Undertaker Wetherholt the burial either at Mount Hill or Centenary. His son H. W. Buckle of Towas, Mich., arrived on the noon train and definite arrangements will be concluded this afternoon.
Mr. Buckle was a member of the M. E. church and a very worthy, moral, clean, upright citizen of a kindly nature and disposition, greatly liked by all who knew him, and more especially by kindred and his own household.
His parents were born, reared and married near Portsmouth, England, and came to America in 1852. They were forty days making the voyage, their eldest child then 18 months old. Mr. Buckle, the subject of this obituary, was their fourth child and was born in Wellsburg, W. Va., November 12, 1839. His mother died when he was four years old. They moved to Jefferson county, O., a year later, and then to Gallia county in 1850, and he has resided in this county ever since. He served in ever township office, including that of the Justice of the Peace, except Treasurer. He was twice nominated for Clerk of Courts. He taught in the public schools and taught singing schools, and organized 33 granges in the county.
July 5th, 1863, he volunteered in Company G First Regiment of Ohio Volunteer Heavy Artillery, as company artificer, and was honorably discharged from the service June 21, 1865. He served in the Army of The Cumberland in Kentucky and Tennessee.
He was first married to Miss Betsey Kerns January 16, 1867, and raised four sons - H. W. of Towas, Mich., John W., Ontario, Cal., Chas. K., of Ingelwood, Cal., and J. M. of Michigan. Three brothers also survive Mr. Buckle, John O., of Stafford, Kas., Cornelius of Denver, Colo., and James R., of Harrison township.
His first wife died May 17, 1885, and on July 5, 1893, he was married to Miss Mary A. Carter who survives him.
He joined John Leaper Post G.A.R., afterward changed to Joseph Walter Post, and was transferred to Carlot Post January 9, 1909.
Mr. Buckle was a relative of the great historian of London and was himself a man of uncommon endowments. He will always be remembered by those who knew him with the greatest kindness.
