MRS. L. A. BUTTS
Margaret Young was born at Manheim, Herkimer county, New York, September 8th, 1828. When about fourteen years of age her parents moved to Rushford in the western part of the state, where on October 2d, 1848, she was married to Lucien A. Butts of Cuba, New York. During the early years of her married life she was converted and united with the Baptist church.
For three and a half years of the Civil War she was numbered with the women who bravely kept the children together while husband and father fought bravely to save the Union. In the fall of 1866 the family left New York state for Ripon, Wis., where almost a year was spent, arriving in Russell, Iowa, September, 1867, and settling upon a farm adjoining the town. Mrs. Butts may be counted among the earliest residents of Russell, and was one of the charter members of the Baptist church.
She was the mother of five children, one dying in infancy. Those remaining are Mrs. A. J. Woodman and Miss Charlotte, of Russell; Edward of New York, and Harry, of Denver. There are also thirteen grandchildren and four great grandchildren. She had an unusual sunny and cheerful disposition and knew how to make a happy home.
For some time she had been in failing health, and on Easter morning, April 12th, 1914, passed peacefully away.
Funeral services were conducted at the family home, Tuesday afternoon by Rev. G. W. Kinsman, assisted by Rev. Arthur Sangston. Interment was made in the Russell cemetery. Sympathy is extended to the bereaved ones.
