Born July 4, 1823 at Sullivan, OH to Joseph and Dorothy Parmerly Carleton. Married Pardee Butler August 7, 1843 at Sandusky Plains, OH. Their children were Rossetta Butler, Clara Louise Butler, Eugene Pardee Butler, George Carleton Butler, Maria Corintha Butler, Charles Pardee Butler and Ernest Butler. Mrs. Butler died at the age of 75 at Pardee, Atchison county, KS, August 7, 1898.
Sybil S. Butler, wife of the late Pardee Butler, entered into rest on Lord's day morning, August 7th, at nine o'clock. The passing from shores of time of this excellent Christian woman deserves more than a passing notice. Sybil Carleton was born in Sullivan, Ohio, July 4, 1823. On the 17th of August 1843 she was united in marriage to Bro. Pardee Butler. In 1850 they moved to Iowa, near Davenport. Bro. Butler preaching the gospel in Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois. In 1855 they came to Kansas, settling on a farm a few miles west of Atchison, near a village now called Pardee. Those were troublesome times in Kansas — the dark days just before the storm of civil strife broke upon our land. Bro. Butler's ardent support of the Union cause, his famous forced ride down the Missouri River on a raft, are events well know in all this part of the country. He was a pioneer, too, in preaching the ancient gospel in this state. The fruit of his successful seed-growing has been gathered, and will continue to be, in the regions round about. He was an intelligent, earnest advocate of the truth as it in Christ Jesus. He passed to his reward on the 20th of November, 1888. In all labors and trials and triumphs of her honored husband, Sister Butler shared with splendid fidelity. Cultured, refined, beautiful in heart and life, a Christian wife and mother, training her children to know and fear the Lord, she was a queen among women. There can be no more exalted station in life than that so worthily occupied by Sister Butler. To Bro. and Sister Butler were born seven children, four of whom died when young, The three grown are Sister Rosetta B. Hastings, wife of Bro. Z. S. Hastings, a minister of the gospel; Bro. George C. Butler and Bro. Charles P. Butler, all of whom live in this county. Sister Butler's two sister, Mrs. A. E. Riley, of Cummings, and Mrs. C. O. Dunshee, of Pardee, this county were present at the funeral. Sister Rosetta B. Hastings has contributed much to our religious literature and is widely known. When the writer first came to Atchison, a little more than fifteen years ago, Bro. and Sister Butler were among the first of his acquaintances and warmest friends, and many a time did he enjoy the hospitality and fellowship of their delightful home. It was Sister Butler's desire that he preach the funeral sermon, which was done at the Pardee church on Monday, Aug. 8th, at 2 p.m., the subject being, "The Positiveness of the Christian Faith" (2 Cor. 5:1), a theme deemed especially fitting, considering the firm character of both Bro. and Sister Butler and their lifelong advocacy of the principles of the Current Reformation. The services were attended by a large company of people, particularly the earlier settlers of Eastern Kansas. Bro. Claude Haskell, the pastor of the church at Pardee, had charge of the services and Bro. Marris, who had know Bro. and Sisters Butler for more than forty years, spoke tenderly of the blessed fellowship he had with them. The body of Sister Butler was laid beside that of her husband in the Pardee cemetery.
