SAN BENITO, TX. -Christine "Chrissie" Bowie Bucklin passed away early Sunday morning, July 2, 2006, after a lengthy illness.

Chrissie was born Christine Ferguson Bowie to Christine Ferguson Kerr and John Caldwell Bowie on December 10, 1911, in Bloomfield, Iowa. Her parents were Scottish immigrants who first settled in Iowa then moved to San Benito in 1916, as part of the Bowie Clan that were among the early settlers of San Benito. She attended San Benito schools graduating from high school in 1929. Upon graduation from high school, she attended Brownsville Junior College as it was known then and later graduated from Texas A&I University.

Teaching was her lifelong profession beginning in 1932, at Fred Booth Elementary School in San Benito. She taught there until her marriage to Edward I. "Red" Bucklin in 1936, after which she lived in Kansas City and St. Louis Missouri. Chrissie and Red returned to San Benito in 1945. She resumed her teaching career at Fred Booth School for the 1947-48 school year. In 1955, she went to Highland School as Head Teacher and then in 1957, returned to Fred Booth as Assistant Principal until her retirement in 1982, after 38 years of loyal and dedicated service to the San Benito School District. As a result of her service and the great respect the citizens of San Benito had for her, May 21, 1982, was officially declared "Chrissie Bucklin Day" by the San Benito C.I.S.D. and the San Benito City Commission.

She was very active in professional organizations. She was a member and past president of the local Chapter of Texas State Teachers Association, Parent Teachers Association, a member of the National Education Association and the America Association of University Women. She was president of the Alpha Mu chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma, a professional educational fraternity, and a member of the Zeta Rho Chapter.
She was a lifelong, dedicated member of the First Presbyterian Church of San Benito where she taught Sunday School for a record number of years not missing a Sunday unless she was out of county, state or country. She was also active in the Presbyterian Women of the Church and served as Ladies Circle Chairman many times.

On May 14, 2006, the dedication of the Chrissie B. Bucklin Board Room took place at the First Presbyterian Church.

The Board Room was originally her Sunday school room where she taught her "wee ones" (as she referred to the children in her classes) for many decades.

She was a charter member and Past President of the Scottish Society of South Texas to which she was named to one of its highest honors, Rose Queen. She was a 70-year member of The P.E.O. Sisterhood serving Chapter L as its President and was a Charter Member and Past President of Chapter CW. Chrissie was also a member and past Director of the Pan American Round Table, member of the International Good Neighbor Commission, the Valley Symphony Association, the Community Concert Association, and the Camille Playhouse. She was named Volunteer of the Year by the Marine Military Academy in 1991.

She is survived by many cousins including Ann and Buster Stevenson of Brownsville, Patricia Bowie Davis and Catherine Bowie of Harlingen and Charles and Louise Bowie of Maryland.

Chrissie is also survived by many friends among whom are Billie and Marshall Storey now of Beeville and Lupita Abrego who was thought of as a "granddaughter."
She was preceded in death by her husband Edward I. "Red" Bucklin as well as her parents "Chris" and John Bowie, her sister Betty Bowie Smith and her nephew Jim Smith whom she and "Red" loved and raised as a son.

$769.82, and L.L. Lincoln, guardian of L. C. and H. M. Lincoln $384.91. The
names mentioned in these administration papers( Daniel died intestate) were
his widow Luthena A. Bucklin, Andrew J., Daniel F- Sylvia Lincoln, a name
that was hard to read... but something like Naity Lincoln, Ellen A. Richmond, Frances A. Bucklin (by the way Frances was called Fannie), and
Almedin( Almeda) whose residence was in Adams and Cheshire.

Together with ye water and water course to ye said mill, with one-half of all other priveledges to said Mill & one fourth of an acre of land next to the mill."

On the 6th of March, 1747, Henry & Samuel. Smith of Rehoboth, for L25, sold James Bucklen of Rehoboth (Deed: Bk # 39. p. 412-3), one acre of Land in Rehôboth, which lyeth near to the Petucket fall s (just above ye east side of ye bridge)."
