The death of John W. Bucknall occurred at his home in this city last Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock after a short illness of pneumonia. While he had been very ill, yet there seemed to be hope of his ultimate recovery up to the last moment, but human skill could not save his life--he had the best in the country, Dr. Dean Lewis, of Chicago, having been called in the case. John W. Bucknall was born on the lake shore a short distance west of this city, November 11, 1854 and has lived here all his life. He was the son of Thomas Bucknall and wife, the oldest of a family of five, Mrs. Osric Vipham, Mrs. W.P. Hauge of this city, and Alder and Charles, of Pasadena. For a number of years Mr. Bucknall was employed on the I.Z. Lelter place. Some thirty-one years ago he was engaged by Samuel Wheeler as superintendent of his east shore property and farm, which position he held at the time of his death, having been a most faithful and conscientious employee, always looking out for the best interests of the property in his charge. His first wife, Mrs. Margaret McGarrell died some twenty years ago leaving two sons, Albert and Ralph, who compose the well known firm Bucknall brothers in our city. some three years later he married Miss Harriet Barber, who survives him. John Bucknall was a man among men, a man who had strong convictions of right and wrong and never afraid to stand by his convictions, never getting in the limelight, but there with the goods when it came to a show down--a first class citizen in every sense of the word. In early life he joined the Methodist Church and all through his life has been a most consistent member, discharging all duties devolving upon him in a faithful and conscientious manner. The funeral was held from his late home Monday afternoon, conducted by his pastor, Rev. J.T. Leek, assisted by his lifelong friend Frank Johnson. The pall bearers were: A.S. Robinson, W.A. Traver and John E. and James B. Nethercut, all of whom had been boys together with the deceased--The Lake Geneva Herald. Mrs. Bucknall is a daughter of Mrs. E.S. Gilbert of this village [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY] and left Bainbridge about twenty years ago. [Bainbridge Republican, May 10, 1917]
