A Buckingham Question
 

Can someone tell me the first and middle names of Nash Buckingham's wife?

The name Emma comes to mind, but I may be entirely wrong...

She is mentioned a few times and I've seen a picture of her on a duck hunt with a long-barreled pump gun... Does anyone know which gun she used to shoot "Mr. Bob" when she might accompany Nash on any of his quail hunts?

Nash's wife
 

Maiden name was Irma Lee Jones from the Best of page 142

Thanks Gary. Irma/Emma... pretty close.

Regards,
Dean

in a letter GBE published in his book on Nash- Nash referred to her as his "star at evening"

Thanks Rick - I had a hunch you'd come up with some in-depth info.

Rick is better than Google!!

BTW

his daughter is also named Irma

Buffalo Bill's daughter was also "Irma". Hence the name of his hotel in Cody (The Irma Hotel)

PS - Try the buffalo stew in the bread bowl

Ate breakfast in that hotel last August. Good breakfast. Lots of history in that hotel. The bar came from either France or England and is flat out amazing. We didn't stay in the hotel but wished we had. If I recall correctly, the hotel was built and run by Irma and Buffalo Bill and his hunting parties camped in the mountains and would come back to the hotel for a day or two and then head out again to the mountains.

Is Buckingham's daughter still living I wonder? I've never met a soul who had ever met or talked to her.
