According to Maude Taylor of Culpeper, VA, Richard Butler was a gambler who died out West, but whose family members had him brought back home for burial in the family burying ground. This information was given her by her mother in law Rachel Fincham Taylor.
In the 1880 census, he is living in the family neighborhood. He is in the household of his newly widowed aunt, Elizabeth Butler, nee Spicer (his uncle, William Butler died in 1878).
Richard, normally a resident of Culpeper County, died at the District Home in Manassas, Virginia, a home for disabled people without many resources. He had myocarditis. He had been an inmate at District Home for 5 months, 28 days at the time of his death.
He did not die "out west" but may have been a gambler; he appears to be enumerated in the 1910 census as a farmer, unmarried, born abt. 1855 in Virginia and with both parents born there as well, living in Alkali, Garden County, Nebraska.
