The funeral services were held in the Baptist Church in Oneonta and sere conducted by Rev. L.T. Fendley and others.
The services were held a little out of the ordinary in view of the fact the deceased had requested the reading of certain scripture and the rendering of certain music on the granfanola. The deceased is survived by his widow, one daughter, and four sons, Sheriff R.W. Buckner and W. T. Buckner of Oneonta and O.F and Walter Buckner.
