Obituary May 10, 1907
"Silver Lake Twp. - The death of Thos. Buckley occured May 4th, 1907, aged 94 years. He was one of the pioneers of Susquehanna County. Born in County Cork, Ireland, in 1813, he left his native land and all that was near and dear to him white yet a boy to seek his fortune in a strange land. His only capital was good health, a strong frame, and faith in God to succeed. Upon arriving in this country he worked for some time in New York and Schenectady, where he was married. With his bride and a few friends he started for Susquehanna County, led on by the great inducements held out to settlers by Dr. Robert H. Rose, at that time owner of thousands of acres of land at Silver Lake. Mr. Buckley had a family of 11 children, 10 of whom survive him. His remains were laid in St. Augustine's cemetary, that old acre of ground where lie the remains of all that grand old Catholic colony who settled and cleated that section of the country, including the fathers and mothers of archbishops, bishops and priests and sisters of charity."
