In addition to being a preacher, Rev. Bucklin served as the Justice of the Peace for Windham County (1848).

According to the the 1870 U.S. census, Calvin Bucklin's real estate was appraised at $10,000, and personal property, $5,000. The highest numbers in all of Halifax.

The following newspaper article discusses the auctioning off of the Bucklin properties following the Rev. Calvin Bucklin's death:

Gazette & Courier - Tuesday, November 10, 1874

(Halifax, Vt.) Real estate in Halifax is hardly up to New York City prices. Hon. E. Butterfield, administrator on the Calvin Bucklin estate, has at length disposed of the real estate at auction, after several adjournments, at the following rates: The home farm of about 300 acres, one of the best in town, was sold to George Hartwell of Wilmington for $2025. The Niles Farm, which had once sold for $1800, was struck off to E. Chase for $600. The Farnum farm, of 50 odd acres, with buildings, was sold to Mr. Whitney for $200. A lot of 167 acres was bought by Elias Prouty for $340. When good farming land can be bought in Vermont for $2 an acre, what is the use of going West? (Phoenix).
