OBITUARY:  A. L. Buckingham died in this city at a very early hour on Sunday morning, November 26th.  He was born in Norwalk, Ohio, on July 22, 1836, and there spent his boyhood and early manhood.  He came to Oregon in 1856 by way of the Isthmus of Panama, so he can be numbered with the Oregon pioneers, who are so rapidly passing from this life. Mr. Buckingham was a man of great integrity of character, upright in all thinks, and it was often said of him that "his word was as good as his bond"; certainly no higher praise could be given. For forty years he was member of the Odd Fellews but had lately withdrawn from the order. A man of remarkable memory, he took great pleasure in recalling the early days of the state; the events and impressions of that time were often graphically delineated by him.  It had always been a matter of pride that he was a decendent of William Bradford, who came over in the Mayflower and was first governor of Massachusetts.  Mr. Buckingham leaves a wife and three children - George, Roy and Bessie.  The funeral will take place this morning at 10 o’clock at the family home on South Commercial street.  Oregon Statesman 28 Nov 1899 5:1-2 INSCRIPTION:  SOURCES:  LR  IOOF Register of Burials  OS 28 Nov 1899 5:1-2 CONTACTS:  LOT: 119 SPACE: 1 SW LONGITUDE:  LATITUDE:
