From the Westford Wardsman, 4 April 1908
Mrs. S. [Susan] Augusta Butterfield died in Ayer Tuesday evening, where she had made her home for several years with Hon. Geo. J. Burns. Mrs. Butterfield was born in Westford in August, 1828, and was in her eightieth year. She was the daughter of Levi T. and Amy (Richardson) Fletcher, of old-fashioned, hardy New England stock. Her father's farm was near Brookside and in her youthful days was one of the largest in town. She was the last of several children. She leaves an aged aunt at the old homestead, Miss Sarah Richardson, who is eighty-nine years old. Mrs. Butterfield was cousin to Charles E. and Augustus F. Whidden of this town.

The late Mrs. Augusta Butterfield's membership in this church was of long standing, covering a period of nearly sixty years, and through all the changes of her long life she cherished a loyal love and interest for the welfare of the church she joined in young womanhood.

Last Saturday afternoon, in the perfect beauty of the spring day, the remains of the late Mrs. Augusta Butterfield, which had been entombed in the cemetery at Ayer, were brought to Westford for burial at Fairview. Hon. Geo. J. Burns and family were pre-sent, as well as a number of former Westford friends. Rev. L. E. Perry of Ayer made the prayer and Rev. C. P. Marshall read the scriptures, after which eulogistic remarks were made by Mr. Perry, and Mr. Mar-shall read the committal service. Mr. Burns, in whose family Mrs. Butterfield had lived for many years, added words of appreciative memory of the deceased.
