He became identified with the Saints in an early day and resided in Clay county, Missouri, when the exterminating order was issued by Gov. Boggs. He went with the church to Nauvoo and was one of the mechanics who built the Nauvoo Temple.
At the death of Joseph Smith [Jr], he followed the branch of the church under Alpheus Cutler, and in due time united with the Reorganization.
Seven children mourn his loss, as well as several grandchildren. His companion had preceded him to the other bright shore. Thus one by one pass away, the old veterans who endured faithful through the "dark and cloudy day."
Funeral sermon by Elder C. R. Duncan.

2.) My great-great-grandfather was not your famous somebody but a man who, like hundreds of thousands like him, pioneered our country in the middle and late 1800s. He was associated with the early Latter Day Saints movement headed by Joseph Smith, Jr., though he left it shortly after Brigham Young took over after Smith's assassination in 1844 in Illinois. He married Sally Maria Cutler, daughter of (John) Alpheus and Lois Lathrop Cutler, and they raised a small army of children. Buckley and his family united with the Reorganization movement started by Smith's eldest son, Joseph III.
