Letters & Photos

by Michael P. May

The following web pages feature letters, photographs, and newspaper clippings related to my grandfather, Harmon Buckley, and his family. I have attempted to transcribe the letters and articles as they were originally written, including errors in spelling and grammar. My notes within the text appear in brackets. Please be aware that this site is a work in progress, and will be updated from time to time.
