      Notes 
      • Leader and founder of Buffaloism in the Far East. The obituary in HongKong Telegraph Mon 21 Dec 1925 states that Mr Oxberry arrived in the colony as a young man in the service(s) who left and then joined the staff of the Hongkong Hotel and during the last 8 years of his life assumed the duties of proprieter of the Palace Hotel.

        He founded the Sir James Oxberry Lodge in 1921 and the King Edward VII Lodge. He was also a Freemason.

        He had a very large circle of friends who attended the funeral, the list of which takes up nearly a whole column of the paper.
