IN MEMORY Of Mrs. S. W. Butler, who died of consumption, Nov. 8th, 1888, and was buried in the Coffee Creek cemetery, Nov. 9th. Florella, known to her friends as "Reil," was born in Scott county, Jan. 15th, 1849. She was the daughter of Dr. Isaac Mayfield, now a resident of Randolph, Kansas. She was married to S. W. Butler, August 30th, 1867. Six children were born to them, and four of them, two sons, and two daughters are yet living. In 1868 she united with the Coffee Creek Baptist church, and, though not a regular church attendant, we believe she died a christian. She was a kind and affectionate wife and mother, always ready to help the poor and afflicted, and was at the bedside of her friends and neighbors in time of sickness. She said she was sorry to leave her husband and children yet, her young-=est child being but nine years of age, but said that God would take care of them, and if it was His will to take her, she was ready to go, and was willing to forgive her enemies, if she had any, and hoped to meet all her loved ones in Heaven. Much sympathy is extended to the bereaved husband and children in their great sorrow. - North Vernon Plain Dealer Nov 14 1888
