The Reverend Anthony C. Bukes Pastor of Easton and Hirlingen for fourteen years, died fortified with the holy sacraments of the Church at 6:30 in the morning of Sunday, February the 1st, 1914.
He was born in Cologne, Germany and came to the States when 18 years old. He was ordained at St. Meinrad's Seminary in 1887. He had been pastor at Easton for 14 years. He died of pneumonia at age 63.
Requiem High Mass was celebrated on February 4, 1914 by the Rev. Francis Johannas, assisted by Rev. W. Kenanhof of Kansas City as Deacon, and Rev. Fr. Hockgesang of Weston, Mo. as Sub-deacon. Present in the Sanctuary were the Rt. Rev. Bishop, M F. Burks and twenty-five priests. The funeral sermon was preached by the Rev. Henry F. Niemann of Maryville, Mo. Interment at Hirlingen February 4th, 1914. Francis Johannas
The 1900 census of Chariton County, MO near Macon, MO, lists him at age 51 coming from Germany in 1870, having a housekeeper named Millie Houseman from Germany.
The 1880 census lists him at age 26 from Prussia, living in St. Charles, MO.

The large statue in St. Mary's Cemetery is dedicated to the memory of Fr. Bukes who served as a priest at Seven Dolors for many years. During a devastating epidemic he was known to visit the home of every sick family and answered every call for Last Rites. I believe his death resulted from him catching the virus. I received his funeral information from Tim Wiedmaier, who copied it from the records at Weston's Catholic Church. The black/white photo (left) was taken on the day of Fr. Bukes funeral.
