Obituary.17

From The Times
"Mr. G. E. Buckle
Editor of "The Times"
For 28 Years
We deeply regret to announce that Mr. George Earle Buckle, Editor of The Times from 1884 to 1912, Disraeli's biographer and editor of Queen Victoria's letters, died at 12.20 this morning at his home in Chelsea after a short illness. He was in his eighty-first year. He had enjoyed remarkably good health until quite lately. though many years ago he had a grave illness from which only his magnificent constitution enabled him to recover.
George Earle Buckle was born at Twerton Vicarage, near Bath, on June 10, 1854, the eldest and last surviving of the four sons born to the Rev. George Buckle, a former Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford, who later became Rector of Weston-Super-Mare and Canon of Wells.
....
....
....
....
Mr. Buckle married first in 1885 Alicia, daughter of Mr. James Payn, the novelist, who had for many years edited the Cornhill Magazine. She was for long an invalid and died in 1898, and seven years later he married his cousin Beatrice, daughter of the Rev. John Earle, Professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford. By his first marriage he had one son, George Walter, who followed his father to Winchester and is now one of H.M. Inspectors under the Board of Education; and one daughter, Mabel Alicia, who was married in 1910 to Mr. H. Pirie-Gordon."
