James M. S. Butcher was a Captain with the 30th Indiana Infantry, Company "I" in the Civil War.
He was wounded at Pittsburg Landing and Murfreesboro, TN.
He was captured at Murfreesboro with 7 of his men. He escaped which was fortunate, for those who did not were taken to Andersonville Prison, where 5 of his men did die. His obituary states that he contracted a disease which ruined his constitution and he eventually died at age 28.
