TO BE BURIED IN COFFIN HE MADE HIMSELF
Funeral of George Buckman, Aged Citizen This Afternoon
The funeral of George A. Buckman will be held at the home of his grand daughter, Mrs. Edward McConville, 96 Mansion Avenue, this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Interment will be made in the Ogdensburg cemetery. Mr. Buckmans sons, Z. B. of Ottawa and H. C. of Potsdam, will arrive here this morning. Mr. Buckman will be laid to rest in a coffin of his own making. He fashioned the casket twenty years ago and since that time it has been in storage. It was trimmed yesterday at the McGillis undertaking parlors.
He was 88 years of age and had been in failing health for several weeks. Mr. Buckman was a carpenter by trade and until his last illness was a very active man, being a familiar figure on the streets. His wife died a number of years ago and he is survived by two sons, Zina B. Buckman, who is in the customs service in Ottawa, Ont., and Harry C. Buckman of Potsdam, a well known newspaper man. Another grand-daughter, Mrs. Charles Provost, resides in Watertown.
Mr. Buckman was born at Grand Isle, Vt., and came to Ogdensburg 75 years ago. His wife died a number of years ago and in addition to his sons and grand-daughters, he is survived by a brother, Daniel of Stoughton, Wis., and a sister, Mrs. Emma Clancy of Stoughton, Wis., who are the last of a family of ten. Mr. Buckman was an industrious, loyal citizen, who left many monuments to his handiwork among the homes and business places of the city.
