Only parents who have lost loved
ones can fully appreciate the sadness
that came to Mrs. Georgiana Buckley
when the news reached her from Wash
ington that her only son, Lieut.. John
w Buckley, was killed on Friday
November 8, 1918, in an aeroplane
accident The particulars of the ac-
cident as to how he lost his life, is
not known at this writing, but it is
supposed that it came in action on the
closing days of the war. 1t might also
have occurred during instruction at
camp in France where Mr.. Buckley
had been giving instruction.
John w. Buckley was favorite
among the young people in Grand
Rapids where he had received part of
his education and was favorably
known in the student life of this city.
He was a tall, well built handsome
young man with bright future. He
was brave and manly and while he
was the only son Of Mrs. Georgiana
Buckley, he beseached his mother to
allow him to respond to his country
call for men when the war broke out.
He possessed those manly traits of
character that make good soldiers. He
paid the full price willingly. We
revere his memory for the price he
paid, that the world night enjoy peace
and prosperity.
John w Buckley was born in Mil
waukee April 81. 1898, and was 25
years of age last April. He attended
the public schools in Milwaukee
Grand Rapids and Madison, Wiscon-
sin, and at Montrose, Colorado. H@
graduated from the Lincoln Higl
School in this city with the class o
1912.
After his father, Senator W. S
Buckley Of Colorado, died he in par
