A Wilson Family Tree
Notes for Nancy E. Buckley
In her listing on Find A Grave she is called Fannie, but the obituary included calls her Nannie and the entry for her father (listing for Chancellor Benjamin C. Buckley) calls her Nancy.
Lawrence County Press, Monticello, MS, 2 Aug 1900 (obtained from Find A Grave, listing for Fannie E. Buckley Creegan):
Mrs. Nannie E. Creegan, of Orange, N. J., who died in a hospital in New York City on the night of the 16th July, was brought here for burial, and her remains were interred beside those of her illustrious father, Chancellor B. C. Buckley, in the town cemetery, on Saturday, the 21st July. The remains were accompanied on their long journey by Miss Marguerite Morgan, an only daughter of the deceased, and at Brookhaven she was joined by Hon. Hiram Cassedy, Jr., a friend of the family and also their former attorney in this section. Mrs. Creegan was 35 years of age and was quite prominent in Washington circles, where she lived for many years. She was a woman of rare beauty and remarkable talents. Her father, more commonly known as General Buckley, was a jurist of distinction in antebellum days and was living in Monticello at the time of his death in 1868. Mrs. Creegan was quite young when her mother removed from this place and, of course, there are but very few of the old settlers who remember her. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. P. Williams.
