Former Citizen Dead
Frank Butt, a resident of Nebraska City and Otoe county for more
than thirty five years, died Thursday shortly before noon at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Fessler, where he had made his home for
several months. Death was due to dropsy. Frank Butt, who was
about 72 years of age, came to Nebraska City from Sidney about
thirty five years ago and for several years was employed by
operators of livery barns in this city. He was later employed as
a hack driver by Payne & McCallum and when the motor taxi
made its advent he drove taxi for several years, later engaging
in business for himself. Mr. Butt was a lover of horses, and for
several years was employed by Syracuse horsemen and made his home
in that town. Before coming to Nebraska City he operated a livery
barn at Sidney and for years had the contract as mail carrier
between that place and Hamburg and was well known in that section
of Fremont county. He was married at Sidney to Miss Alice M.
Langston, who died in Nebraska City a few years ago. He is
survived by one daughter, Mrs. Lester Shields of
Lincoln.--Nebraska City News- Press
