The venerable mother of Rev LC Buckles of this city died a few days ago at Thorntown aged 83 years. She was born in New Jersey and was married to Seaman Buckles in 1831 and soon thereafter they settled at the home of his parents in Greene County. Here five children were born to them. In the fall of 1840 they came to Boone County, settling two and one-half miles southeast of Thorntown then two more children came to bless them. Her husband died in July 1846 and she was thrown upon her own resources to rear and train a large family of children which she did with all the nobility of a grand woman, instilling her noble character into all her children. She was a truly religious woman and as a mother and friend not many excelled her. Rev. Buckles attended the funeral which was held at Thorntown. ~~~Transcribed and Typed by kbz
