Thomas R. BUTLER, aged sixty-five years, died in Wayne township, Saturday morning. The funeral was held at the house yesterday, and the remains were buried at Mt. Olive. Mr. Butler was a brother to Mrs. Asa DEWEESE and was unmarried. (MONDAY)
Thomas R. BUTLER was born near Centreville, Wayne county, Indiana, October 14, 1835, and died in Liberty township, Fulton county, November 25, 1898, aged 63 years 1 month and 11 days.
Deceased came to Fulton county March 27, 1842, and settled on a farm two miles east of Fulton in Liberty township, and he has continuously resided in this township. Thus it will be seen he was one of the pioneer residents of Fulton county, having come here when the nearest neighbor was two or three miles away.
Deceased never married and for many years made his home with his sister, Mrs. Asa DEWEESE, who tenderly cared for him during his last sickness. He was a quiet, modest and unassuming man, honored by all for his honesty.
He leaves two sisters, Mrs. Amanda BAILEY, of this city, and Mrs. A. W. DEWEESE, of Liberty township, besides many friends to mourn his death. The funeral service was held at the Deweese residence and the remains were laid at rest in the Oliver cemetery.
