When Henry and Arthur Buckner
of this city departed in the draft yes
terday it was announced that thirteen
members of one family are in the
war. Roy Buckner, brother of Ar
thur and Henry, has been in the ar
my for two years and is assigned to
TIE aviation corps. He has been at
home on a furlough, but will depart
for camp again today.
Ten cousins of the Buckner' boys
are either at the training camps in
the United States or are with the
American troops in France. They
are: Chester Black, Z. Black, Clyde
Black, Guy Nations, William Taylcr
Clark and Maple Jornes, and Charles,
Gale and Alta Buckner.
Before Arthur and Henry departed
yesterday afternoon they stated that
they believed their family held the
record Of contributions to Uncle
Sans fighting force. While thirteen
is ordinarily an unlucky number
these boys believe the number will
not prove a h.oodoo to them. Henry
