The Rev. Mr.. Buckley.

Few persons will be more gener-
ally missed in the citys daily life
than the Rev. Frederick d. Buckley
of Trinity church. His tall, we'll
.propOrtioned figure, genial counter
ance and cheerful greeting were ia
rniliar to all, and the time of his con-
finenent- to. his. home through illness
was so short that it is difficult to re-
alize that his place is now vacant.
His eloquence as a public speaker
made HIM much sought after and
gave him wide acquaintance in
state and beyond it's borders. He
was positive in his convictions, well
posted on current events; and ex-
pressed his views Enthusiastically, anC
with absolute fearlessness, yet not il
away that antagoniZed those who
differed with him.
AS a clergyman he was broad in hi:
Views, yet thoroughly loyal in every
Way to the church of which he wa.
a member; as Mason, he held il
the highest esteem the principles Oh
which the order is founded an(
strove to carry them out in his ever.
day =. living; as ascitizen, he kept il
touch with whatever concerned tn
city. the state and the country, ant
by precept and example set forth, a
he saw them. the duties Of citizen
ship in no uncertain terms: and il
private life proved himself a warn
friend aid agreeable companion.
For the church of which he wa
rector he has accomplished much
notably the acquiring of substantial
endowment fund to insure it's con
tinued adequate support and equip
ment. In the diocese he was regard
ed as one Of the leading clergyme
and his opinion was often sought I
Waterbury he was proud of his citi
zenship, interested in every move
