COL. A. S. BUFORD DEAD
Former President of the Old Richmond and Danville Railroad Passes Away.
Col. A. S. Buford died in his home, in Richmond, after a prolonged illness, Saturday [May 6, 1911] night.
Colonel Buford was formerly president of the old Richmond and Danville Railroad Company, now the Southern, and was a candidate for the office of governor of the state in opposition to Col. Chas. T. O’Ferrell.
He was at the time of his death, a member of the firm of Leake and Buford, of Richmond, and has been closely connected with the business and political affairs of the state since the civil war, in which he served with distinction and gained his title as Colonel.
Some of the older citizens of this community will probably recall the incident when Col. Buford, soon after the close of the civil war, and when Col. W. S. Fewell was station agent at this place, drove some drunken passengers from the ladies’ coach at the point of his revolver when an early morning train, upon which he was riding, arrived in Manassas.
