He was united in marriage to Gertrude Fenley, [daughter of John Fenley and Nancy Wright], April 2, 1899 [in Wayne county, Iowa]. To this union were born two daughters and one son: [Verna] Olive Keeney of Numa [wife of Ray Vernan Keeney and Morris Willard Crowe], [Coral Gertruce] Burton of Ames [wife of Maurice T.

He leavers besides his widow and children, to mourn him, four brothers [Elmer Ellsworth Butler, Levi Lafayette Butler, Jesse Elroy Butler, and Asa Ray Butler], three sisters [Belinda J.

He was converted in 1912 and united with the First Baptist church of Seymour.
After his marriage he made his home on a farm north of Seymour [in Walnut township, Wayne county, Iowa] and there he spent the remainder of his life.
In his last month of illness, he was a patient sufferer, and will be sadly missed by those of the community.
------------
But when the sun in all his state
Illuminated the Eastern skies;
He passed through Glory’s morning gate,
And walked in Paradise.
------------
Funeral services were held at the Baptist church of Seymour at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, July 8, 1939, conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. M. Cleeton. Burial was in the Southlawn cemetery.
------------
CARD OF THANKS
We desire to thank our many friends and neighbors for every act of kindness shown during the last illness of our husband and father.
