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.

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.
