Bucknum Case: Harrisburg Man Declares Body Story False
The Guard recounts the disputed finding of J R Bucknum's body, labeling the informant Martin a liar. Bucknum vanished November 18, 1898 while hunting near Shotgun creek in Line county. Evidence suggests the claim lacks credibility as the meet point and burial site were not verified. Bucknum left $5,000 life insurance, $4,000 Woodmen of the World, and $2,000 United Artisans, all paid to heirs. The Spot lies twenty miles east of Harrisburg along Shotgun creek, a Mohawk tributary.
