Victim of Hydrophobia
Mrs. Esther Butts Bitten by Mad Dog – Resulted in Death
Mrs. Esther Butts, Seventy-eight years old, making her home with her son, J.V.Butts, died Saturday at 7:10 p.m., from the effects of a bite from a mad dog over a month ago.
About the 1st of February the Butts dog jumped on another dog and were fighting near the Butts home, when Mrs. Butts attempted to part them and the Butts dog bit her slightly on the back of the hand. The dog then went away and bit a number of dogs in the neighborhood, returning home at night, where it was found dead a short time after the above occurrence.
Nothing was thought of the bite on Mrs. Butts hand until last week, when it began to pain her, and on Wednesday as she went to take a drink the sight of the water threw her into convulsions. Physicians were at once called and everything done to get the poison out of her system, but it had too thorough a hold, and after seeing there was no chance for her recovery, the doctors tried only to relieve her great suffering, in which they were partially successful. She remained conscious until Saturday noon and death came Saturday evening.
Funeral services were held at the home Monday afternoon conducted by Rev. J.H. Deyo, after which the remains were interred in Twin Groves cemetery. They family have the heartfelt sympathy of all in their sad bereavement.
Esher Rice was born June 11, 1824; was married September 6, 1844, to James Butts at McArthur, Ohio. To this union was born nine children, of whom three are known to survive, as follows; William Butts, of Park Place, Oregon; J.V. Butts of Severy, and J.H. Butts, of Tallahassee, Florida. They moved from Ohio to Indiana in 1856, then came to Kansas in 1872, where they have lived ever since. She was a member of the M.E. Church for a number of years.
Lonely? Ah, no, not lonely
While Jesus standeth near.
He comes within the tent door,
I feel His presence here.
Friendless? Ah, no, not friendless
While Jesus is my friend.
I change, but He remaineth
Sure loving to the end.
Weary? Ah, yes, so weary,
But leaning on His breast;
My soul hath sweet assurance
Of His eternal rest.
