FRED W. BUCKLEY.

    Fred W. Buckley, formerly manager for the Wilbur Lumber Company of Lowell,
was born in Cedar Creek township, Lake county, Indiana, March 2, 1878, his
parents being William and Elizabeth (Darst) Buckley, who were early settlers of
Lake county. The father is now living a retired life in Lowell.

    Upon the home farm Fred W. Buckley spent the first sixteen years of his
life, and during that period acquired his education in the public schools, which
he attended during the winter months. He then began work for the Lowell Lumber
Company, John E. Burns being the owner of the yards, and in that employ Mr.
Buckley remained until May 5, 1898, when the yard was sold to the Wilbur Lumber
Company, Mr. Buckley continuing there until February, 1901. He then resigned and
joined his former employer, Mr. Burns, in Chicago, and continued with him for
three months, at the end of which time he was offered the management of the
Wilbur Lumber Company. He was then but twenty-two years of age, but he had
demonstrated his superior ability, his thorough understanding of the lumber
trade and his trustworthiness, and thus his strong qualities gained him a very
desirable position, which he held for three years, at the end of which time he
again resigned to accept a better position offered by the Sheridan Brick Works.
Brazil, Indiana.

    On the 19th of July, 1900, Mr. Buckley was united in marriage to Miss Lotus
Metcalf, who died on the 15th of November, 1901. He is a prominent member of the
Knights of Pythias fraternity at Lowell and is a man well known in Lake county,
where he has a large circle of friends, among whom he is very popular, owing to
his genial disposition, unfaltering courtesy and high personal worth.
