Washington Post, Jul 20, 1933Buckingham Rites Arranged for Tomorrow
Funeral services for Francis. M. Buckingham, veteran Washington candy dealer and real estate man, will be held at the Zurhurst funeral parlors tomorrow at 2 p.m. Burial will be in Congressional Cemetery.
Born in South Canaan, Pa., Mr. Buckingham came to Washington in 1876 from Philadelphia, where he had been attending the centennial celebration. Although he planned to remain here only a short time, he entered the retail candy business, with which he has been connected for the next 15 years.
Mr. Buckingham then took up real estate business for two years, but returned to the candy trade and was engaged in that field 27 years. Retiring in 1920, he devoted himself to religious work until his death.
Mr. Buckingham died yesterday at his home, 3624 Porter street. Surviving are a daughter, Mrs. H.E. Sprucebank, and two sons, Irwin C. and Edgar C. Buckingham.
