After a brief illness, Mrs. Frances Hawkins Palmer Buckingham passed away at her residence, 145 W. Fort st., Saturday afternoon. She was a daughter of the late Olney Hawkins, a leader of the Washtenaw bar and prominent in Michigan state politics for many years.

Mrs. Buckingham was born at Ann Arbor in 1848, and in 1867 was married to William Sackett Palmer, of Sackett's Harbor, N.Y., where she lived until the death of her husband, Nov. 19, 1883, 15 years ago Saturday. In 1886, she was married to Goodcil Buckingham, a prominent Wall st. broker, who died in 1890. Four years later Mrs. Buckingham came to Detroit, and for a year occupied the residence of her cousin, Thos. W. Palmer. She moved to her late residence, 145 W. Fort st., three years ago. Two children survive her, Mrs. Louise Rosse, of Brooklyn, N.Y., and William H. Palmer, of Detroit.

Mrs. Buckingham was an active worker in several charitable organizations of this city, being identified particularly with the Children's Free Hospital. She was a member of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Detroit Patriotic Association and many sick soldiers in the late war received her attention and sympathy while on their way to their homes in the state. As a member of the executive board of the Woman's Exchange, she was a willing and tireless worker.

The funeral services were held at 11 o'clock this morning at the residence in Detroit, Rev. John McCarroll officiating. The remains will be brought to Ann Arbor this afternoon for interment in Forest Hill cemetery.
