Hiram Wheeler Buckbee. Hiram Wheeler Buckbee, of Rock- ford, 111., widely known in the seed and florists' trades, died at 8:45 p. m., Saturday, July 16, at his cottage at Lake Geneva, Wis., where he had been for several weeks. He had been ill for over a year with heart trouble. The funeral services were held Tuesday, July 19, at 4 p. m., at the home at Rock- ford. The Rev. John N. Hall, of Chicago, and the Rev. Charles A. Gage conducted the services. Prominent seedsmen from near and far, friends and admirers of Mr. Buckbee, were included in the list of pallbearers. The pallbearers were Watson 8. Woodruff, W. T. Robertson, H. B. Andrews, William Shimmin, Charles Cherry and J. C. Vaughan. Mr. Buckbee was born at Rockford, November 6, 1860, and secured his edu- cation in the public schools. While still a boy, in 1871, he started by sell- ing cabbages, and from that small be- ginning has grown the present busi- ness done under the name of H. W. Buckbee, including the Rockford Seed Farms and the Forest City Green- houses, which this year sent out 750,000 catalogues. Mr. Buckbee was greatly interested in boosting Rockford and was a lead- ing light in community and patriotic affairs. He was a zealous welfare worker at Camp Grant during the war. The 108th Engine
