Mt Vernon Republican, 25 Dec 1855, p3:
OBITUARY
Died at Putnam on the 11th inst., William Buckingham, aged 23 years. The deceased was one of a large circle of relatives and friends, and his death somewhat unexpected, was to them a sudden shock. His integrity of character, unfailing urbanity, active benevolence and unexclusive manner toward all with whom he came in contact, marked him as a valuable citizen, and a worthy man. He was the youngest son of Ebenezer Buckingham, well known as one of the pioneers into our valley, whose energy and wealth did much to develop as well its resources as the resources of the State. He was but an infant when his father died and but a child when deprived of his surviving parent. Still there was a purity of principle in his heart, which made up for the loss of parentage. He grew into manhood unstained by vice, simple hearted and truly Christian. Alas! Alas! there is woe in many hearts, and there is one that laments with a sorrow that earth rarely knows. The white roses which he watched were just blooming under his culture for the chaplet of his bride--we saw them bestrewn over his breathless form.
