Sels B. (1892-1957) & Ruth B. (1897-1996) Buffloe

My name is Sels Andrew Buffaloe. I was born on June 8, 1892 in Rowlett, Dallas County, Texas. My father was Rufus Franklin Buffaloe, Sr. He was born in Vaiden, Carroll County, Mississippi. My mother was Dora Jackson Buffaloe. My parents were married August 5, 1888. I married Ruth Beatrice McDonald on September 23, 1911 in Kemp, Kaufman County, Texas. If you do the math, I was 19 and she was 14 years old. I served in WWII. When we lived in Palacios , we had a store on Main Street. No one seems to remember what we sold. The details of our lives are very sketchy now. Seems that we are slowly being forgotten. I died here in Palacios in 1957. Ruth continued to live in Palacios until her death in 1996. She lived to be 99 years old. All the old time Buffaloes are gone now. It appears we took most of the family history with us. -- Palacios Cemetery Tour
 


Card of Thanks

The family of the late Sels Buffaloe wish to express their appreciation for the many kindnesses extended them. To the neighbors and friends for their thoughtfulness, to the doctors, nurses and the staff of the Bay View Hospital we want to express our sincere thanks. The floral offerings and cards of sympathy were a consolation to us in our hour of sorrow.
