Death Of An Old Lady
The End of a Long Life Spent in Good Works
At 3 o'clock yesterday morning Mrs Elizabeth Adams Butler died in West End at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr J.S. Panchen, at the advanced age of seventy nine years.
Mrs Butler was the daughter of Matthew Brooks Hooper and Elizabeth Ward Hooper, of Pendleton District, South Carolina, and was born November 24, 1813, being the ninth of twelve brothers and sisters and the last to survive. She came of an old and honorable family, being descended through her father from Bishop Hooper, of England, of glorious memory, and closely related on her mother's side to President Adams. Her ancestors and relatives on both sides served faithfully in the continental armies of the revolution. Among the brothers and sisters of the deceased were Hon. John W. Hooper, who was for many years judge of the Cherokee district, Mrs Justiana Bell, who was grandmother of Hon. Milton Candler and Amelia M. Hooper, who was the mother of Mrs. H. V. M. Miller.
She was the relict of Green Berry Butler, who died many years before her. Mrs. Butler left one surviving child, Mrs Ava Wright of West End. Her eldest daughter, Mrs Sophronia Frost , died in Mississippi only one day before the mother.
She lived in Decatur when Atlanta was still unthought of and there are those living who bear testimony to many acts of kindness on her part in cheering the lives of the new settlers when they came here. During the course of a long and useful life she illustrated at all times the quiet and excellent virtue of an honorable race, was full of good deeds, charitable and just, and rounded of a virtuous life in the peace and hope of a blessed immorality.
Note: Husband Green Berry Butler died in Sept. 1852 in Marshall Texas. Burial unknown. From two different obituaries.
