From www.floridasupremecourt.org:
"The 41st Justice of the Court, Buford arguably was one of the most colorful to serve in this century. For one thing he served as Justice without ever receiving a college degree, yet he was praised as one of the Court's finest minds. In 23 years of service on the Court, Buford wrote 2,657 opinions. Born in Pulaski, Tennessee, in 1878, Buford later moved to Wewahitchka, Florida, in his childhood. He "read the law" in the office of a Tallahassee lawyer and was admitted to practice in 1900..."
He married first Nora Lee Milliken. He married second Mary Cornelia Munroe and had five or more children with her, including Rivers Henderson Buford, Jr., Martha Hauze Buford Hall, Maxine Frances Buford Smith, Alice Dismukes Buford Stubbins, and Albert Lewis Buford.
