George M. Bucklin, one of the enterprising publishers of The Sentinel, Morris, 
Illinois, is a native of this state having been born in Will county, October 
8, 1859. He lived in Kankakee, Illinois, until he was ten years old and at 
that time his parents moved to Michigan and settled in Flowerfield, St. Joseph 
county. He was reared and educated in Michigan and remained there until March, 
1892, when he went to Nebraska. In the winter of 1895-6 he returned to 
Illinois and entered the employ of Bucklin & Son, publishers of the daily and 
weekly Sentinel. October 1, 1896, in company with A. H. Hilliker, he was 
placed in charge of the paper, which they have since operated, having some 
time since purchased the plant. Both being enterprising men, up-to-date in 
methods of journalism and with plenty of pluck and push, they are meeting with 
deserved success.

Mr. Bucklin is a man of family.  He was first married in Michigan, March 27, 
1881, to Miss Anna L. Hoover, who died January 14, 1892, leaving two children—
Ora E. and Anna G.  June 21, 1899, Mr. Bucklin married for his present wife 
Miss Alice R. Turner, of Morris.
