Submitted by Karen Murphy

This is from a newspaper clipping that says, "50 years ago."   It was stored for years by Karen Murphy's  Mom's great aunt, who died about 5 years ago.  The "Buck Knight" is Karen's Great-Grandfather, he has an X on him- he died in 1919- and he is shown in the photo, so it is at least from 82 years ago, probably more like 114 years.
Here is Buck's info-

James Buchanan "Buck" Knight b: 14 January1857 in Fayette or Marion County, Illinois m: 03 July 1894 in Salem, Salem Twp., Marion Co., IL d: 28 November 1919 in Salem, Illinois. Father: Joseph Knight Mother: Sarah
Jones Burial: 29 November 1919 East Lawn Cemetery, Salem, Illinois.
