DR. J. M. BUCHAN
After A Long Illness He Passes Over The Silent River.
What man, woman or child is there in Dodge County---what man is there in any of our surrounding counties who fails to recognize the above noble face' ( Note:A picture of Dr, Buchan accompanied the article.)And , gazing upon it, what person is there who cannot say that there is a face that belonged to one of the best, noblest men who ever breathed the pure fresh air of Heaven?
When it was announced some two months since that Dr. Buchan had been stricken with paralysis, a gloom was cast over the entire town and country and hundreds of deeply sympathetic friends flocked to his home.The best of medical skill was obtained and everything possible done for his relief, though it was known from the first that he could not possibly survive the shock.
Death came Friday morning last at 7:00 o'clock.The funeral was preached at the Christian church ( of which Dr. Buchan was a leading member ) by Rev. Mr. Thomas, of Atlanta, at 10 o'clock Saturday morning, after which the remains were taken charge of by the masons, and followed by a large concourse of people in carriages and on foot--every business house in town being closed --- were carried to the cemetery and interred with masonic honors.
Dr. Buchan introduced the bill in the legislature giving the county the name of Dodge, therefore he was the father of Dodge County, and a dear good father he was too, for to know him was only to love him.
We are in a position to deeply sympathize with the bereaved wife, children, relatives and friends, for the death of Dr. J. M. Buchan our senior feels that he lost one of his dearest earthly friends.
Peace be unto his ashes.
Compiler Notes: The picture mention in this article can be found in his scrap book.
