John Joseph Buckley.

John Joseph was the oldest and the first grandson. He was reared mainly by his grandparents as Nellie (Ellen) had a clot in the leg for a long time after his birth

Jack died from wounds, after peace was declared, in France on September 3, 1918, and after receiving the Military Medal.
About 1921 the families moved into Sunnyslope, Nimmitabel near the railway, taking over the house from John and Mary Eliza, his brother and wife. Jim died at Sunnyslope in 1941. Nellie went to Queanbeyan and lived with her family there, and then returned to Nimmitabel where she lived (where Summerells now live). She died in Queanbeyan in 1948
