Jerry Butts is dead.
Wednesday evening, February 12th, at 6 o'clock the veteran gave up the struggle for life and his spirit took flight to that realm from whence no traveler has returned. It was a fitting day for civil war veteran to die - the birthday of Lincoln, the idol of all civil war veterans. His illness was a long one, extending over several years, the last two being hard ones for him as he suffered a great deal, especially the last three or four months. The chief cause of his illness was heart trouble.
The funeral will be held from the house Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock and interment made in Fairview cemetery.

Jerry Butts Laid to Rest
The funeral service in memory of Jerry Butts, mention of whose death was made in last week's Advance, were held at the Butts residence in the Oakley addition Friday afternoon, Rev. Cunningham, formerly pastor at Glenburn, but now located at York, having charge of the services and preaching the funeral sermon. The services were largely attended by citizens of Glenburn, who hold in high esteem the memory of the departed veteran. The burial did not take place until Saturday noon when the body was laid to rest in Fairview cemetery, the delay being caused by the difficulty encountered in digging the grave, on account of the extremely hard frozen condition of the ground.
Jerry Butts was born April 27, 1843, which would have made him seventy years old this coming April. He enlisted Aug. 13, 1862, with Co. G of the 105 Ohio regiment and served throughout the civil war. Before coming to Glenburn he was located at Kalamazoo, Mich., and for a time immediately prior to coming to this locality resided in the Red River Valley with his son, Arthur. He located on his homestead near Pratt in 1902 where he continued to live until three years ago when he moved to Glenburn.
The deceased is survived by his wife, sons Arthur and Dan, and brothers Chas. Of near Pratt and A. K. of Michigan, also a sister residing in Michigan.
