Mrs. Buckbee, a Chicago pioneer, was born in a small frame house, lo- cated on the site of Mandel's Store, at State and Madison streets in Chi- cago. Her father, Col. William Church, came to Chicago in an oxcart in 1836 where he built his home. He was the first Sheriff of Cook county, and led a most interesting life as a member of the staff of Governor Yates of Il- linois. Col. Church, served on Gover- nor Yates' staff during the Civil war, and was appointed as a special repre- Simplicity! Tuning a Kellogg receiver is a one hand operation.

Winn. 1848 TTY sentative of the government to sit on the platform at the time Abraham Lincoln made his Gettysburg address. After Lincoln's assassination, his body was brought to Chicago, to lie in state, and Col. Church was one of the pall- bearers. Mary Church attended the Dear- born seminary, the first girls' school in Chicago, marrying Col. J. E. Buck- bee in 1866. Her father sold his home at State and Madison streets for $700. Civil War Captive Col. Buckbee also had an interesting career, for he served during the Civil war. He was captured by the Con- federates and sent to the Anderson- ville prison in Georgia. Here he en- dured unspeakable hardships, finally escaping. The story of his escape through the cypress swamps of the South, of the bloodhounds that were set on his trail, and the weeks that it took to reach the Atlantic coast are worthy of a novel. When he reached the coast and saw a Union battleship he broke down from fatigue and joy. The officers of the vessel picked him up and took him back North. Mr. and Mrs. Buckbee moved to Winnetka in 1876, and lived in a large home on Sheridan road, between Ash and Cherry streets. The Buckbee home with Col. and Mrs. Buckbee as host and hostess was known throughout the village as a gathering place of young as well as older people. They held al- most continuous "open house" for their friends who dropped in often. Went West in 1910 But after Col. Buckbee's death, and the family of children married and scattered, Mrs. Buckbee moved to Los Angeles in 1910. She made her home there until her death, a week ago, at the age of 82. Mrs. Buckbee is survived by six chil- dren, Walter A., Julian E. and Mrs. Roxana McGowen, all of Los Angeles; Mrs. Mary Louise Jansen of Minne- apolis, Minn. ; Cheever Buckbee of Es- canaba, Mich.; Mrs. Caroline Sher- wood of Chico, Cal.; and Mrs. C. H. McFarland of Evanston. Funeral services were held in Los Angeles, with burial at Rosehill ceme- tery, Tuesday, December 14, at 2 o'clock. Huddle Residence Twice Destination of Firemen The Winnetka Fire department was called to the residence of Wiley J. Huddle, 794 Rosewood avenue, twice within the past two weeks. The first fire occurred on December 1, when damage to the roof to the extent of about $1,000 resulted. The hole burned in the roof at this time, was covered with a heavy tarpaulin, pending re- pairs. Last Monday evening at 8:50, sparks from the flue ignited the tar- paulin, and the Fire department was again summoned. Little damage re- sulted on this occasion.
