Friday, June 12, 1964 Appleton-Post-Crescent, Pages A-1 & A-5 APPLETON POST-CRESCENT Monday, June 15,1964 James P. Buchanan The whole community of the Fox River Valley will feel the loss through an early death of James Buchanan, for a number of years a resident of the Green Bay area and for the last ten years of the Fox Cities. Mr. Buchanan's community contributions were extensive. He well deserved the 1952 Distinguished Service award of the Junior Chamber of Commerce in Green Bay but since that time his interests and work on behalf of a variety of community projects expanded. Despite heavy business responsibility and a growing young family he was a leader in c h u r c h affairs, service clubs, hospital and medical projects, music and educational organizations and Scout groups. Mr. Buchanan combined his leadership ability with a deep sense of personal responsibility and a quiet and reasoned approach to the myriad problems he faced. His talents in this part of Wisconsin will be greatly missed.
