Buckner,
Thomas -
Indiana was
his native state. The date of his birth was Feb. 15, 1830. At the time of his
death (Feb. 15, 1919) [should read Feb. 10] he was one of our oldest citizens,
only lacking five days of being 89 years old. While not a prominent character,
as often understood by that term, yet he lived an exceptionally beautiful life.
In his quiet career that old proverb had its truest fulfillment: "A good
name is rather to be chosen than great riches and loving favor rather than
silver and gold." Some funerals are hard to conduct. The officiating
minister is embarrassed by the unworthy character of the deceased. The
mourners, too, sometimes lament as those who have no hope.
The
righteous man has hope in his death and his friends have comfort in their
bereavement.
When a boy
he came to Louisa Co Ia. where March 15, 1855, he was united in marriage to
Margaret Tedford, who died a few days over 80 years
of age, August 17, 1913. To them six children were born. William A. is the only
surviving child.
In the
spring of 1880 the Buckner family moved to Taylor Co Iowa. Since 1888 they
lived in Lenox, which was their home up to the time of the death of Mrs.
Buckner. During the last five or six
years Mr. Buckner made his home most of the time with his son William.
Mr and Mrs.
Buckner were most exemplary people. None
knew them but to love them. On his death bed he said: "I do not know that
I have an enemy in the world." He said what he thought was true and
possibly there is no one who is inclined to question his statement. What he was by grace divine others
man be and,
in fact, ought to try to be. What a precious heritage is their character to
children and grandchildren. Beautiful legacy and uplifting responsibility, but
terrible to those who are not living the overcoming life. A beautiful life
ought to lead and lift all life.
Marked
indeed was their religion in the home, and their devotion to the house of God.
Mr. Buckner's funeral was conducted by Rev. A.L. Davidson in the Lenox United
Presbyterian church, Wednesday, Feb. 12, 1919.

Elliott,
Mary Louisa Laird –
Mary Louisa
Laird was born at Louisburg, Pa., May 30, 1836. She was the daughter of John G. and Harriot Smiley Laird. On her mother's side she was of Revolutionary ancestry, both her
grandfather and her great grandfather
being

Delaware Co., Ohio, and on her marriage to Thomas Cochran Elliott, March 8,
1854, she came to Franklin Co., Ohio.
In 1855 the
Laird and Elliott families moved by wagon to Monmouth, Ill. After 20 years here
the Elliott family came to the farm 5 miles north of Lenox where they lived for
25 years. Then they made their home in Lenox until the death of Mr. Elliott.,
Sept. 3, 1915. .Since then Mrs. Elliott has made her home with her
two sons, Mell R. Elliott, of Oxnard, Cal., and Thos. K. Elliott of
Kansas City, Mo. Her life closed on Feb. 4, 1919, after a long and weary
decline. She died full of
years in the
honor of a ripe old age
She and her
husband were early members of the Associate Reformed
Presbyterian
Church and since the union enjoyed the fellowship and worship of the United
Presbyterian church. The Bible was a very precious book to her and she did not
fail to impart its teachings to her children. Her life was devout and prayerful
and the courts of God's house afforded her great delight.
She was the
mother of six children, five of whom survive her namely; Lida J. Wilson of Los Angeles, Cal., Mell R. of Oxnard,
Cal;, Thomas' K. of Kansas City
Mo., Clara
Bell Moon of Prescott Iowa, and Rev. Fred Elliott of Mansfield, Ohio. She is
also survived by one half brother, James Geddes of Chicago, and one brother,
Matthew Laird of Mound City, Kans., and one sister, Mrs. Harriot
J. Wilson of
Columbus, Ohio.
Hers was a
life of self-sacrifice and loving ministry for her children and friends many of
whom will say, "She hath done what she could." Of her as of all who
sleep in Jesus it was well be said, "She sleeps well." "God giveth His beloved
sleep."
The funeral
service was conducted by Rev. A. L. Davidson in the United Presbyterian church,
Lenox, Iowa, Feb. 6, 1919 and the interment was in Fairview cemetery. The text of the sermon, "Blessed are the

Helen Brown was born at West Hebron, New York, Jan. 12, 1852 and died at her,
home, Lenox, Iowa, Feb. 19, 1919 at the age of 67 years, 1month and 7 days.
While an infant in her third year she came with her parents to Sunbeam, Ill.
where she grew to womanhood. Sept. 21,
1876 she was united in marriage to Robert Speere Henderson, coming immediately to
her home near Lenox where she has resided until the time of her death. To this
union were born two children, Fred M. and Hattie Clare who are left to mourn
her loss, her husband having preceded her seven years last January. One sister is still living, Mrs. Margaret
Sanders of Tampico, Ill., also a brother, W. T. Brown of Marion, Iowa.
At an early,
age she joined the United Presbyterian church and continued a faithful and
efficient member till the close of her life. Like Mrs. Elliott and Mr. Buckner she belonged to a generation that is
fast passing away, yet like them, too, her devotion to the House of God was
most marked. Their seats in the
sanctuary
were seldom vacant. Worship to them, was a real height and their presence was
an inspiration to their friends. Theirs is a type of religious devotion and
Christian character that might be emulated with profit and pleasure of soul by
those who are forsaking the House of their God and forgetting the God of their
fathers. In the lives of our faithful forbears, there is a closer connection
between Christian worship and Christian worth and work than is appreciated by
some in modern life and irreverent circles.
Mrs.
Henderson is here no more. Her work is
done and well done. She was a good
woman. Her children rise up and call her blessed. Her neighbors loved her. Her
friends honor her name. A large concourse paid their tribute of respect at the
burial service among them appearing in a body the Ladies of the Relief Corps of

affection he
will be sorely missed.

Brethren church at Salem at the age of eleven years in company with his S. S.

everybody and made many warm friends wherever he went. He was musically
inclined and would entertain his loved ones and friends by the hour,
always willing
to cheer and help others. He will be greatly missed among his young friends and
leaves to mourn his loss, father, mother, two brothers and one sister, besides
many dear relatives and a host of friends.
