Rochester Sentinel - Thursday, March 14, 1907
The report of the death of William T. BUTLER, which occurred at his home, near Macy, last evening, came as a shock to his many friends in this place where he was so well and favorably known. He had been in ill health for some time but it was not supposed that the end was so near.
He was born in Miami county June 7, 1893, and was nearly 68 years of age. His marriage to Catherine PHILLIPS occurred December 29, 1859, and their union was blessed with seven children, five of whom survive. Mr. Butler for many years was a farmer and resided in Liberty township. From thence he was called to an official position, that of Sheriff of this county, which office he very satisfactorily filled for two terms, his services ending in 1884. Since that time he has been engaged in the hardware trade in Rochester, Fulton and Macy and for the past few years has lived near the last named place. He was made a member of the Masonic fraternity in this city in 1869, and continued his membership here until his death. He had an extensive social and business acquaintance in this and neighboring counties and was recognized by all as a good and progressive citizen.
The remains of the deceased will be brought to Rochester at 10:50 a.m. Saturday and interment made in the Odd Fellows cemetery at 2 p.m. on that day.
