  C. S. BUCKNER, merchant, West York, is next to the youngest of a family of six
children; was born January 16, 1855, in Clark County, Ill. His early years were
spent upon his father's farm, and was educated from the common schools. At
twenty-one years of age he left his home and engaged in farming on his own
account. In 1878, he bought 80 acres of land in Clark County and sold it in
1881, when he bought the stock of goods of Moore & Reynolds, at West York and
engaged in merchandising, at which he is still engaged, and has the exclusive
trade of the town. His father, Charles Buckner, was born in Crawford County,
Ill., in March, 1822; he is now residing in Clark County, engaged in
agricultural pursuits. His mother, Rebecca (Osborn) Buckner, was born in 1824
February the 14th, at Sullivan, Ill. Mr. Buckner was married to Miss Harriet A.
Maxwell, in 1876, who died December 6, 1876, leaving one child as the result of
their union, viz., Frederick. In 1877, in Clark County, he married a second
time, Miss Julia A. Buckner, a native of Tennessee, who has borne him two
children, of whom one is living, Emma R. Mr. and Mrs. Buckner are religiously
connected with the Methodist Church. In politics, he is a Republican and an
enterprising man, bearing a name and reputation which is beyond reproach.
