Death of C. H. Butterfield
News reached Auburn Wednesday of the death, on the 20th, of C. H. Butterfield, Lincoln's Postmaster, and one of the prominent citizens and active business men of that thriving city. Borne time ago a tumor of some kind made its appearance just under the right jaw, which proved very disagreeable. Not being able to reduce it by local applications, he went below and submitted to an operation. He returned in time to attend the late Republican county convention, before which he was a prominent candidate for the nomination for Assessor. He was then much improved, though the swelling and soreness from his face had not wholly disappeared.
Later, it seems, another tumor made its appearance under the chin, and again lie went below' for treatment. The operation was a delicate one, and rather protracted, and we understand he never rallied from it.
His remains were brought home to Lincoln Tuesday night, and were buried at that place last Thursday. Mr. Butterfield enjoyed an extensive acquaintance, and was highly esteemed by all who knew him.
