Buckner W. Trevillian - Riverside Park - Grants Pass, OR - Dedicated Benches on Waymarking.com

Located within Riverside Park is a game table and chairs near a playground with a small plaque that reads:

Dedicated To:
Buckner W. Trevillian
Born: August 19, 1896
Died: May 5, 1990
"He Loved People"

I located a post on a message board on Ancestry.com that mentions 'Buck' and reads:

Buck was a long time resident of Grants Pass and surrounding areas ~ Galice, Merlin ...In his later years you could always see him at Riverside park playing Checkers with the kids and telling stories ..he is not my family line but I wanted to share these photos ..I can't remember when the game table was put up but I am pretty sure it was a few years maybe more that a few after he died...I also live next door to him is 1983 that was on Rogue River Highway grants Pass, Oregon if anyone would like me to take a picture of that home let me know and I will take one next time I am over in the part of town ..I hope you enjoy these pictures..Buck was a wonderful wonderful man I did not know him well personally but he was a true fixture of our town :-) and I always picture him sitting at the park playing checkers that's what brought me to this board... I took my kids there the other day and was telling them about Buck :-)
