Bowman [sic] R. Butcher was born in Lickin [sic] county, Ohio, Aug. 14, 1844, and died Jan. 16, 1921, at his home in Blackwell, Okla. He moved with his parents to Illnos [sic] when but a small boy and grew to manhood there. When the country needed his services he enlisted in the 2nd Ill., cavalry, serving three years. In 1866 he was married to Miss Adeline Vail, who died in 1875 [sic], and to this union three children were born, Thomas Walter, who is now president o [sic] the Kansas State Norman at Emporia, Charles V. of Blackwell and Mrs. Myrtle Lawyer of Macomb, Ill. He was married in 1877 to Rose M. Pittman [sic] and she, with three children, Clyde of Norfolk, A., Mrs. Pearl McIntosh of Denver Colo., B. R. Jr., of Blackwell, survive [sic] him. Another daughter, Ethel Sualstead, passed away last August. He also leaves four brothers, Preston of Sedan, Kan., J. S. of Blackwell, Luther and William of Macomb, and two sisters, Mrs. Molancy Kirkpatrick and Mrs. Mary Cline of Macomb. Mr. Butcher came to Oklahoma in an early day and endured the hardships of a new country, giving the best that was in him of good citizenship and Christian ideals. About eight years ago he became a constant sufferer, and for about five years was almost helpless from a stroke of paralysis, depending entirely upon the aid of his good wife, who, by her excellent care and untiring service, tided him over the last few years.
The many beautiful floral offerings showed in a measure the host of friends he left and the esteem in which he was held.--Macomb (Ill.) Daily Journal.
