(unknown newspaper-I assume Stanberry paper of the time)
Harvey Buckles was born in Jennings County, Indiana on March 14, 1827, died in Stanberry, MO on March 24th, 1915 at the ripe old age of 88 years and 10 days.
Mr. Buckles was married to Miss Sabina Wilson 63 years ago (1852) in Indiana. To this union came 10 children to bless them, only 4 are now living: Mrs. Elizabeth Richardson in Oklahoma, Sherman, Enoch and Mary Buckles now living in Stanberry.
Bro. Buckles made the good confession when in his teens in Indiana and for seventy three years has walked with his lord here. Bro. Buckles and his wife moved an settled in Gentry County about sixty years ago (about 1855). When the Civil War came he enlisted nd joined Co. F, 18th Reg and saw service throughout the war and during the closing days of the war was with Sherman on his march to the sea. He received an honorable discharge and returned to his family and was with them up to the time of his death. He has been a great sufferer, yet patient to the end, only waiting for the last bugle call which came and again he was mustered out of lifebs great army.
Services were conducted at his home by Eld. Lee H Barnum on last Friday morning. His body lies in High Ridge Cemetery to await the final call on the morning of the resurrection.
