Margaret Buterbaugh was born at Martinsburg, Blair county, Pennsylvania, on May 19th, 1841. After a suffering illness of several weeks, she passed quietly out of this life at her home, October 5, 1920. She had attained the age of seventy-nine years, four months and sixteen days.
She was married to Charles Aldrich September 19, 1861, in Bureau county, Illinois. Four children were born into their home, one, a boy dying in infancy. Those remaining are Mrs Emiline Burson of Seattle, Geo. E and Bert E. of Fairmont. She is also survived by a brother, Levi Butterbaugh of Tulare, South Dakota, and a sister, Mrs. W.L. Darling of Appleton, Minnesota.
The first twenty-one years of her married were lived in Illinois, with the exception of some time in the state of Missouri. Here the family experienced many of the thrills and dangers resulting from the factions of the slavery question.
In the spring of 1882, the family removed to the now well-known farm near Fairmont. Here she gave unsparingly of her energies to an early settler's life and toiled faithfully through the years of her husband's life. Thereafter, she made and has continued to make her home in Fairmont.
Here for years past, she has lived her life quietly, simply and just as it seemed to her. She continued to live an active out-door life, finding now as always her interest and enjoyment in all growing things. Several trips to the west coast gave variety and pleasure to her life.
With the exception of a period of fifteen months of invalidism while still in Illinois, she has enjoyed good health throughout her many years. Within the last two years or so, she found it necessary to pass certain of her interests and activities on to abler hands, while she rested more and moved about a little more slowly. One of the bright spots of her last days was a visit to her sister at Appleton, Minnesota, accomplished shortly before she was taken with her fatal illness. The two talked happily together, reminiscing of the days of childhood and the experiences of the yester-years.
Her supreme loyalty was the church and the Sunday school. So long has she been a vital part of these, that we shall not easily realize that she will come back no more. Beginning the religious life at a time beyond recall, she fulfilled always every Christian obligation of personal self-giving, faithfulness upon the means of grace and generous support. In the early days she often walked from the farm home that she might be present at the mid-week hour of prayer.
Faithful in that, which was least as Christian, neighbor and friend, she has been called to the larger, fuller, freer life of the faithful above.
Funeral services were held from the Congregational Church on Wednesday afternoon. The pastor, Rev. William Kline, was in charge. The attendance at the service was unusually large.
