a later hour, told Mrs. Buckner to get the doctor. After administrations by the doctor, he was apparently 
resting well and as Mrs. Buckner, who had been at his bedside continually, walked across the room she 
became aware something was wrong and at once by realized the end had come. Her son, William E. Buckner 
was also at home at the time. Another son, Louis Buckner who makes his home in Tallulah, was called and
