Hassie Richey was one of nine children born to Gabriel Sylveter Richey (1851-1919) and Rebecca Lee Wedgeworth (1853-1927). All the children were born in Alabama. Sometime after the birth of the youngest children in 1892 and before 1900, the family relocated to Comanche County, Texas. About 1901 Hassie married John Henry Butler, son of Robert Butler and Mary Hornsby. John Henry and Hasse had four children:
Daun Dovie Butler, born in 1901
Virgil Sylester Butler, born in 1903
Clarence Cecil Butler, born in 1906
John Valton Butler, born in 1911
At the time of her death in 1963, Hassie was an 83 year old widow, still residing in Comanche County, Texas. It appears that Hassie's unusual name came from her grandmother Wedgeworth who had the same or a very similar name.
