Special thanks to all who have assisted us in the endeavor to learn more about him, and a special thanks to Buffalo Reflex Wen Oct 19, 2011!
As per neighbors who knew him:
Knew him by "Shorty"
He stayed only during the summer months (Long Lane area)
Didn't know where he went when he wasn't there
Stayed in log cabin, but logs were placed vertically not horizontally
Owner of chickens
Ira didn't discover body, Ivan did

Normally I would not place cause of death on anyone's memorial page but the following news articles are in fact the way they were written word for word:
BUFFALO REFLEX - WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1956
The body of a man, later identified as Rowland Butler, about 39, was found on Wednesday afternoon, February 16 buried in a shallow grave in a wooded area on the small farm he owned about 7 1/2 miles east and one mile north of Buffalo.
-------------------------------
Discovered By Accident
Ira Swigert, farmer living in the vicinity, made the gruesome discovery about 4:30 p.m. as he was walking across the land to the home of another farmer to ask help in getting his sick cow out the woods. His attention was drawn to a strip of hardened cement leveled off on the ground. Becoming curious about smoothed cement in the deep woods, he returned with a neighbor to investigate it. They prodded at the concrete and dirt until they discovered what appeared to be a mattress.
Dallas County Sheriff Bob Franklin was then called to the scene. Using a pole he dug into the mixture of concrete dirt and rocks and discovered that what the men had thought was a mattress was in reality a large sack. He also saw that it contained a human body, since a man's are leg was visible and prints of the body could be seen through the sack.
Seeing that a murder was indicated the Sheriff went for more help. He returned with Lloyd Buchanan of the L.B. Jones Funeral Home. Together they continued digging with poles until the sack which held the body was free of the concrete, dirt and rocks.
The body had been doubled up and stuffed head first in to the sack, then the top had been doubled over and tied with wire which had then been twisted into a loop.
------------------------------
Sheriff Serves as Coroner
In the absence of Dallas County Coroner L.B. Jones Sheriff Bob Franklin also served as coroner in the case, as required by Missouri law. Acting in this capacity his decision after examination of the body was that death was caused by a fractured skull caused by a blow on the right side of the head and by a slashed throat which cut through the large artery on the left side of the neck. The time of death could not be established.
"It's the most gruesome thing I have ever come across", said Buchanan," and I have been in the undertaking business for many years."
Franklin reports that the body was clothed in underwear and shirt and wore work gloves on the hands but was without shoes or trousers.
The officers believed that the man's teeth which contained gold, and the absence of a tooth which they believed might have been bridged with gold might aid in his identity.
However after the body had been viewed by residents of the community it was identified as that of Rowland Butler, owner of the land on which it was found.
----------------------------
Came Here In 1953
Butler came to Dallas County in 1953 and purchased the 80 acre timber land farm. He bought it from Ownesby and Son of Buffalo and paid case for same. The man lived in a tent, cooking his food on an outdoor fire.
Later he built a small shack of logs covered with tim. Neighbors however believed that the cabin had never been occupied and that he was still living in the tent when he died.
Neighbors knew little about Butler other than he said he had been engaged in construction work in various places. Occasionally he left on trips and was gone for weeks or months at a time. But when at home, he made frequent trips to Buffalo.
Charles Beard, also 39, came to Dallas County with Butler or arrived soon after and lived with him on the place. He was also known to have had other visitors but they were not identified.
---------------------------
George Becomes a Buddy
About December 12, 1955 a stranger arrived at Butler's place-a man of about 45 whom he introduced as "my new buddy, George." His last name was not known. He was seen in Buffalo sometimes driving Butler's '38 Plymouth sedan.
Rowland Butler seems to have had the confidence of his neighbors and sometimes took children of the community home from school when he was in town when school was dismissed. Reportedly he was last seen on the afternoon of December 23 when he drove some children from school to their homes.
"George" was seen as late as December 26 when he was believed to have left in Butler's car.
--------------------------
Officers Reconstruct Crime
After finding the decomposed body in the shallow grave officers thoroughly searched the premises and the tiny new cabin which stands about 200 yards from the hole in which the body was buried and on higher ground. In the cabin they found the folding tent, also several sacks of the same type as that which encased the body. They were about twelve feet in length and 2 1/2 feet in width and were of the type used in picking cotton. There was also a wire such as cotton workers use to attach the sacks to their shoulders. It was presumed that the sacks had been used as bedding as there was no mattress or other furnishings in the cabin.
Also found in the cabin was a basket containing papers and a quantity of dried blood. An ax was found with rust which may have been caused by blood.
Missing was all Butler's clothing and personal effects, also his '38 Plymouth sedan.
From these meager clues officers deducted that the man might have been murdered in the cabin, then dragged down the hill 200 yards to the hole in which he was buried. This had apparently been dug in prospecting for minerals and was only about three feet deep. Said Franklin, "He could have been sleeping on his left side." The partially clad body and lack of shoes as well as the location of the injury led to that deduction. The gloves might have been worn, he believed, because of the extremely cold weather. The fact that no money, clothing or personal effects were found might indicate, according to Franklin that robbery was the motive of the crime and that the man may have been viciously attacked as he slept.
-------------------------------
Later Developments
Investigation has failed to locate Butler's missing buddy or his car. There has also been no word from relatives, according to Sheriff Bob Franklin, although the finding of the body and his positive identification has been widely publicized. Many inquiries have been made. Officers have learned that since buying the little timber land farm Butler had worked at construction work in at least three states-Texas, Colorado and Wyoming, proving that what he had told of his activities was correct for the most part. He had worked for a pipe line company at Houston, Texas. They found no record of his having worked in Alaska. There was also no evidence that he had ever picked cotton as might have been surmised from the cotton sacks in his possession.
-------------------------------
No Inquest Held
No inquest has yet been held although Mr. Franklin states that he might later decide to hold one. The body will probably be held for a few days longer in the hope that relatives may be found before arranging for burial.
