AYLETTE BUCKNER--Within the pages of this work will be found specific
mention of a number of the representatives of the Buckner family, whose
name has been long and prominently identified with the annals of Kentucky
and which has ever stood exponent of the highest type of citizenship.
Aylette Buckner is numbered among the able and successful agriculturists
and stock-growers of Bourbon county and his well improved farm comprises
one hundred and seventy-five acres, located about seven miles east of the
city of Paris, on the Paris and Little Rock turnpike.  Besides this farm he
also owns a large tract of land in Canada.  He is progressive in his
farming enterprise and is contributing his quota to upholding the high
standard of the agricultural industry in his native county.  Aylette
Buckner was born in Bourbon county on the 15th of January, 1877, and is a
son of William S. and Rosa (Lindsay) Buckner, both of whom were likewise
natives of Bourbon county, where the former was born in February, 1851, and
the latter in April, 1852.  William S. Buckner died February 9, 1890, and
his wife is still living in Paris, Kentucky.  He whose name initiates this
sketch has been identified with agricultural pursuits throughout his entire
career.  He was reared on the old homestead farm and early began to assist
in its work, the while he was afforded excellent educational advantages,
having attended a private school conducted by William L. Yerkes at Paris,
this state, and having later continued his studies in the University of
Kentucky, now known as Transylvania University at Lexington.  Mr. Buckner
has resided on his present homestead since the time of his marriage and
upon the same he has made improvements of the best type, everything about
the place giving unmistakable evidence of thrift and prosperity.  His
political allegiance is given to the Democratic party and while he takes a
loyal interest in all that touches the welfare of the community he has had
no ambition for public office.  He is a member of the Christian, or
Campbellite, church, and his wife holds membership in the Methodist
Episcopal church, South.
     On the 15th of June, 1904, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Buckner
to Miss Mary H. Lockhart, who was born at Paris, Bourbon county, on the
29th of November, 1883, and who is a daughter of General C. and Florence
(Kelly) Lockhart.  A review of the career of her father appears elsewhere
in this publication so that further data concerning the family history is
not demanded in the present connection.  Mr. and Mrs. Buckner have one son,
Catlett L., who was born on the 27th of December, 1907, at Asheville,
North Carolina, where his parents were sojourning for the winter at the
time of his birth.
