The gorgeous summer days spent with you in the fields and next to the earth will be greatly missed, but never forgotten. You always provided adventure and hard work for curious little minds to contemplate. Feeding time with you was always grand and challenging; you could tell your grandchildren were growing older when they were able to kick a whole bale of hay into the manger instead of pieces at a time. Your home was always a place to gather, the sound of tractors and animals common, the smell of alfalfa and wheat abundant. Welcome was the word and Grandpa was right inside the door in the chair by the window. No longer will you be by the window, but in the sky as blue as your eyes.

(Mildred) Butterfield, West Jordan; Delpha G. Murphy, South Jordan; 12 grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren; brother, Franklin T. Butterfield, Riverton; sister, Ellen Davis, Midvale. Preceded in death by grandson, Trent O'Niel Butterfield.
