Born in Sacramento, William moved to Roseville with his parents in 1878 when he was just six years old. (His grandparent were pioneers who came to California in 1852.) William became a well-known butcher shop owner in Roseville. Four over four decades until his death in 1940, he ran four shops, one of the best-known and remembered was "Butler's Market" at Lincoln, Church and Main Streets. He married Lena Maude Berry in 1896, the daughter of a Roseville pioneer, Thomas A. Berry. They were parents to two children, William, and Mildred Grace. In 1914, Mr. Butler had a two story concrete building built, the lower story for his shop and the upper to be used as office space; the building would later be re-modeled and become the Roseville Telephone Company. When the Depression hit in 1929, he had to fall back and re-group, as so many others. He operated his last market at 105 Main Street for almost ten years until shortly before his passing.
