Daniel Buckley, a veteran of the Civil war and a long-time resident of this city, passed away at his home on Fayette street at 7:45 o'clock this morning, after a lingering illness.

The deceased was born in Maine 77 years ago, and lived many years in the east. He was married to Miss Adelaide White in this city about 45 years ago.
