Though for some time expected, the death of Mr. Frederick Buck [sic] came a suddening surprise even to those who so anxiously watched the bedside. Though a strong and vigorous man, during most of his life, nevertheless, like all mortals, become overtaxed in body and mind with the cares and responsibilities of this busy world; and during the past few years began to show signs of that maturer age that must come to one and all as we hurry along life's highway.
Frederick Buch was born in Province of Hanover, Germany, June 10th, 1840. He was baptised and confirmed in the Lutheran church in boyhood, and remained true to his church until his death. He was married in 1868 to Carolina Kirchner, to which union there was born seven children, two of them—a boy and girl, preceded their father to the Better Land. The surviving children who with their mother mourn his loss are as follows: Henry, Charley, William, Mrs. Alfina Wehmiller. and Frederick, besides several grandchildren.
Thirty-three years ago he and his family immigrated to America, settling in Page Co., Iowa, where he has lived until his death, he has always been a hale and hearty man until several years ago he took a stroke of paralysis, from which he seemed fully to have recovered, when he was taken by a third stroke about 5 weeks ago, and despite all that loving kindness could do, and after he humbly confessed to his pastor "I am a sinner," but Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners, and he is my Saviour," he passed peacefully, into the shadow of the valley of Death at the age of 75 years, 5 months and 15 days, on Thanksgiving day, Nov. 25th, 1915.    The funeral    was conducted from the home to the North German Lutheran church by Rev. Joecker and a large   precession    of sorrowing friends and neighbors followed the remains   to its   last   resting place. Pallbearers, were his four sons; his son-in-law,  Mr. Wehmiller, and his nephew, Carl Meier; his undertaker Mr. Roy Harmon.   We   extend our sympathy to those who experience this sad loss.

Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Buchanan were residents of this county quite a number of years ago, Mr. Buchanan operating the lumber yard at Page Center in the early days when that place aspired to be something of a town. Selling out his business, he finally moved to Omaha and Mr. Buchanan went into the lumber business with a Mr. Wagner and the firm did a good business for many years, being in a prosperous condition when Mr. Buchanan died more than a year ago. Both Mr. and Mrs. Buchanan had many acquaintances and friends here and it is fitting that they should find their final resting place side by side in our beautiful cemetery, and in the family lot of grandfather and grandmother Buchanan who preceded them to the greater life some years ago.
Mrs. Buchanan was a life-long church worker and was a member of the P. E. O. Among the many beautiful floral offerings was a very handsome piece from the latter named society.

I know that the flowers must wither,
And the stars be dimmed some day; The song will sing into silence,
And all things pass away: But I also know of a Saviour,
Whose face I shall some time see; His smile of love is eternal,
And that is enough for me.

Sketch of the late of Capt. Burns.
Captain Burns was born February 14th, 1833, in Highland county, Ohio. Moved to Canton, Illinois, in 1850, and died in Clarinda, at the age of 59 years. He was one of the early settlers of this city where his life and energies were ever exerted for the public good. Few of our citizens could he missed more than he, being endowed with a generous heart and liberty-loving soul. He was educated in the old time log- school house. A humble birth, a humble home, and a very limited education; but all culminated in a brave patriotic life.
Soon after the fall of Ft.

W. L. Pedersen, our south side jeweler, at one time presented Captain Burns with an elegant Grand Army badge. The jewel was of Mr. Pedersen's own design and made by himself; a gold eagle carrying a silver bar upon which was engraved the name of Captain Burns' company and regiment. Attached to the bar was an ingraved silver star, surrounded with a gold wreath. The jewel was an elegant piece of work, and prized very highly by Captain Burns.
We append the closing eulogy given by Hon. Charles Linderman at the Captain's funeral: "Captain Burns was a soldier in all that term implies. He knew how to command and how to obey; he was a kind and humane officer, a brave and brilliant commander. For the 'pomp and circmstance of war' he cared but little; in all he did, he was actuated by an ardent patriotism, a genuine loyalty to his country and its flag.   He was ever anxious for the comfort, the convenience and safety army life was replete generous and unselfish deeds.
"Our commander has gone before us; for him the last tattoo has beaten; the lights are out Sleep on brave Captain beneath the soil you helped to save from desecration.
"The flag you loved so well will float over your green mound proclaiming to the world your unselfish heinois'm.
"For all your years of service, For the love so patient and true,
In our hearts we today enshrine you, And render the honor duo.
"And though   the   blossoms may wither,
And the beautiful leaves may fall, No power our affection shall sever,
For love will outlive them all. "Some are taken and some remain, To bear all the sorrow, the parting, the pain, Death angel stands ready at every gate,
And one   must go out, and the other must wait." CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jun 1, 1911

LITTLE GIRL'S AWFUL DEATH.

Four Year Old Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Burns Killed by Fire.

Little Velma, the four year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Burns, living near Norwich, was burned to death Tuesday evening at 5:30. The Burns home has a basement kitchen in which the mother was getting supper at the time the awful accident happened, the little girl and the twin babies one year old, being left upstairs alone. The cries of one of the twins brought the folks up from below to find the little girl in a mass of flames, her clothing and the carpet around her all being on fire. She died from her frightful injuries at eight o'clock. It is supposed that, she had been playing with matches. Neither of the twins was injured. The funeral takes place today. Profound sympathy is felt for the stricken family. The little girl was one of a happy family of eight children. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Dec 16, 1909

John Potter Burrows, a former widely known citizen of Clarinda, died at his home, 238 South Benton Way, Los Angeles, Cal., Wednesday evening, Oct. 16, 1918.  The information that he had passed away came to Clarinda in a telegram received by his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs.   H. B. Parslow.   Mr. Burrows was stricken with paralysis last February and recovered from the stroke sufficiently to be able to get about the city some afterward.   Later he suffered another stroke.  Mrs. Parslow went from here to visit her father in the spring and after a stay of about six weeks returned home from Los Angeles about the middle of June.  Mr. Burrows was helpless for three or four months before his death.  The funeral and burial were in Los Angeles. Mr. Burrows was born in Pennsylvania, Sept. 26, 1838, so was 80 years of age the 26th of September this year. He learned the carpenter's trade in Pennsylvania, and learned it well, being a fine workman. In later life he planned any building he wished done for himself, and occasionally did some cabinet   work in which he took special pride, and which showed him a master workman. On coming to Iowa somewhere about the Civil war days he entered into the mercantile business at Siam, Taylor county, where he conducted a general store. In those pioneer days cash was scarce and there was much trading. Mr. Burrows used to take in furs and other articles in exchange for merchandise and then haul them to St. Joseph, Mo., where he disposed of them.   After a rather short experience at Siam he came to Clarinda and for a time was in the general mercantile business here in company with Joe Cathcart. From this he went into the drug business on the south side of the square in this city, and long conducted his drug store in the building where Orth & Beckner now have their shoe store.   As he began to feel age coming on him he disposed of his drug business, the successorship now being in the ownership of the H. C. Hawley Drug company, which has moved but a door from the Burrows location.   He was a successful business man who prospered financially and gained many friends. He served as a member of the Clarinda city council at one time and then labored over the same problem that has bothered so many city councilmen—, the waterworks situation.   As a Councilman he endeavored to find an adequate supply of well water for public use, and while he made some headway he had his disappointments as the wells failed to produce all the water he wanted and hoped for, and which the public needed.   He was a man of action, however, and did his best. During some of the years while the late Colonel William P. Hepburn was in congress from the Eighth Iowa district Mr. Burrows was the chairman of the Republican congressional committee for this district and looked very carefully after the multitude of campaign details centering around Colonel Hepburn's candidacies.   Mr. Burrows also about the same time was the Eighth congressional district member of the Iowa Republican state central committee.   He seemed to enjoy his political work and was an able, useful and effective political campaign manager.  Among his connections was relationship with the Masonic fraternity. Mr. Burrows is survived by his wife, who before her marriage was Miss Nannie Morledge, and two daughters and one son.  The daughters are Mrs. H. E. Parslow of Clarinda and Mrs. Lula Hopkins of Los Angeles, and the son John P. Burrows Jr., also of Los Angeles.   Mr.   and   Mrs. Burrows, daughter Lula and son, John Jr., went from here to Texas early in the winter of 1904, and from there to Los Angeles about the first of January, 1905, from which time they have made that city; their home.   J. P. Burrows last visited Clarinda a few years ago. He was a good, substantial citizen who filled an important niche in the affair of life, and many will much miss him.

Burwell, Roy L. - Roy L. Burwell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. M. Burwell, died Monday morning at the family home in northeast Clarinda, aged 16 years, 1 month and 15 days, after a long illness from stomach trouble and other ailments. The funeral was held Tuesday at 2 p. m., conducted by Rev. R. A. Cameron. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Apr 21, 1910

Roy L. Burwell This paper is called upon to record the passing of a life in a panorama extending over a short period of sixteen years. The reception of one of these little lives is like a message from God and its presence is a benediction every moment of its stay. There is no time when the fond parent can for a moment forget the little ones and their care is a pleasure even though the task may be hard. Its hardship is never burdensome, and the constant prayer is that each olive plant may grow up into perfect manhood and womanhood with all the qualities that these attributes imply. Mrs. Burwell had two children that were the pride of her home. She had cared for them through their tender years and their successes were bright stars in her firmament of love. In this instance, Roy Burwell had finished his mission here. His work was done and he is now with the redeemed in the full enjoyment of that place prepared for him. Only thirteen days' warning had been, given of his departure. The time was short, but those short days were a great help in preparing for the final farewell.
The subject of this sketch was born in Clarinda on the second day of March, 1894, and brought up in this city under the best environments that an indulgent mother could secure. He was carefully directed in the proper course and as the years passed by he united with the Presbyterian church and attended strictly to the duties of the church and Sunday school. He rapidly advanced in school work and was a member of the eighth grade at the time of his demise.
Roy was taken sick on the 5th of this month and just thirteen days later was taken away from friends and relatives here. His trouble was brought on by a spell of fever which was so mild that little was thought of it until it developed in a form of kidney disease.
The funeral was held from the late home on Tuesday afternoon, conducted by his pastor, Rev. Cameron, assisted by the Presbyterian choir. The floral tribute was profuse. His class in school and also in Sunday school were present and the pall bearers were boys associated with him in every day life. They were Guy Beech, Ralph Saum, Max Witte, Maurice Friedman, Rufus Douthit and Carl Johnson. The remains were laid beside his father in the local cemetery. [paper?]

Mrs. Joseph Burwell Dead
On Friday afternoon the remains were brought to Clarinda from Gravity of Mrs. Joseph Burwell. She was buried in Clarinda cemetery, the services being conducted by Rev. Abram S. Woodard of the Methodist church. Mrs. Burwell and her family are well known around here, having resided near here until recently, the following obituary being taken from last week's Gravity Independent:
Sarah Eby was born in Crawford county, Ohio, July 13, 1837, being the daughter of Peter and Rebecca Eby.
On December 4, 1856, she was married to Joseph Burwell. They lived in Ohio until 1865, when they moved with their family to Iowa, living one year in Lyon county, after which they came to Page county. Here they lived for 46 years. In the fall of 1911, she with her husband, moved to Gravity where she passed away April 21, 1915, at 4:30 o'clock, being 77 years, six months and eight days old.
She leaves besides her husband, nine children to mourn her loss. They are: A. W., E. M., and C. A. Burwell, and Mrs. A. J. Heninger and Mrs. C. O. Heninger, all of Gravity. W. L. and J. O. Burwell, and Mrs. Carrie Brokaw of Clarinda; Mrs. A. J. Walker of Athol, Kansas.
Besides her unbroken family of children, she leaves 25. grand children, 21 great-grand children, two brothers and two sisters.
For 25 years Mrs. Burwell has been almost an invalid, at times suffering intense pain, but never omplaining,
always patient and cheerful. Her Christ, whom she had served since early womanhood, her home and her
children were the really big things in life to her. In the absence of her pastor Mr. C. W. Protetor, of the
Methodist church, Irving E. Wade, pastor of the Christian church, assisted by W. L. Dunlavy conducted the funeral service at two o'clock. The body being taken to Clarinda for burial.                                   
Athough not able to go out much among friends, whole hosts will feel a sense of loss at the going of this good woman. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Apr 29, 1915

Captain Jacob Butler.
The funeral services of Captain Jacob Butler, who died October 24th, after an illness of ten weeks, following a stroke of paralysis, were held Sunday afternoon, at his home on Chestnut street. The services were conducted by the Rev. Wm. Stevenson, of the Methodist church, who in most beautiful and appropriate language talked to the family and friends on the promises of God. The music, solemn and sweet, was rendered by a male quartet. Shrouded in his robes immaculate; asleep beneath a wilderness of flowers that fain would have kissed his eyelids to wakening, he was carried to the Clarinda cemetery and there, surrounded by his brothers of the Masonic lodge, who paused and breathed a prayer above the sod, they left him to his rest and God.
Although it was known almost from the beginning of his illness, that Captain Butler could not recover, yet his death as are all deaths, was a shock, to his family and his friends. The community has lost one of its oldest and most honored Citizens.                                    
Captain Butler came to Clarinda in 1856, endured the hardships of pioneer days,  watched its growth, and helped to make our city all that it is today. The family has lost a devoted father and   friend, one who was to his children   like   a great rook in a weary  land, where they could flee to the heat of parching days and   rest   in   its   shadow, a friend in whom they could confide without fear  of disappointment; who never failed   them, and never scanted his love in servng them, always had a healing tenderness for the hurt of a heart,   comfort for there sorrow and cheer for their discouragement.    He was not only a rock of shelter in times of trouble, but his love was as a river of water in a thirsty land. , The close   association between Captain Butler and his children will make their separation all the more severe.   The affiction and tenderness ol his children, for him, was a matter of note to others.   Their example in this is a sermon. The remembrance of his life and the anticipation of the joy to come when they will meet again, will be a comfort to them in their great sorrow.
Death, with   its   healing hand, shall once   more   knit   the band which   needs  but  that    one link which none can sever.

Obituary.
Captain Jacob Butler, whose death we are called to mourn, was born April 19th, 1829, near Richmond, Indiana. He was of English descent. His great-grandfather, John Butler, immigrated to America from Bidmanshire, England, in the company with William Penn and settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, afterwards moving south and settling near Savannah, Georgia. In 1806, Captain Butler's grandfather, Beale Butler, and family, moved to Indiana, near Richmond, where Captain Butler was born. He lived with his father, Samuel Butler, helping to build a home in that vast wilderness, until 1851, when he married and began building a home for himself.

In 1856, together with two brothers and their families, he moved to Iowa, settling in Clarinda, where he has lived to the present time.

Captain Butler was reared in the teachings of the Friends church. His parents, who were always his guiding star in all things, were devoted members of that church, as was Captin Butler up to the time of his moving west. Although there was no church of the Friends in his home city, he has remained true to his early teachings. Captain Butler was a loving and devoted husband and father, a faithful friend, honored and loved by all who knew him. Always true to his convictions. In politics he was a loyal republican, casting his first presidential vote for John C. Freemont in 1856.

In 1859 he was elected the first republican sherriff of Page county, Iowa. In the spring of 1861, he enlisted in a company of volunteers, when President Lincoln called for 75,000 men. He was elected captain of the company and entered the service of the government in the first Nebraska regiment which was mustered into the army of the United States, July 8th, 1861, and sent immediately south, to St Louis, Mo., to guard the railraods. The company was very poorly equipped in every way. Captain Butler's consistution was not strong enough to stand the hardships of camp life in severe winter and was soon broken down in health from which he never entirely recovered.

After returning home from the army, he was appointed to fill a vacancy in the office of clerk of the district court and auditor of Page county, afterwards elected to this office and served the county six years.

Captain Butler was made a Master Mason in Nodaway Lodge No 140 A.F. and A.M. in 1859. In 1865 he was elected Worshipful Master, and served in this office nine years. He helped to organize and establish a chapter of Royal Arch Masons in Clarinda. He served as Emminent Commander of Pilgrim Commanding No 20 Knights Templar, one year under dispensation, and three years under its charter.

Words cannot express the devotion and love that existed between Captain Butler and his family. Since the death of the wife and mother, three years ago, he has been lonely and though he regretted leaving his dear ones here on earth, he was ready and willing to go. A good man has gone to his rest. A noble father and honored citizen to his great reward. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Oct 31, 1912 and PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Oct 31, 1912

Martha Butler, wife of Jacob Butler, died September 10, 1909. She was born in Eaton, Preble county, Ohio, November 11, 1834. While a small child she emigrated with her parents to Indiana, settling in Wabash county, on the banks of Eel river. The country being new, wild Indians were plenty.
Oct. 12, 1851, she was joined in marriage to Jacob Butler, and in the spring of 1856, with her husband and two children, came to Iowa, crossing the state to Page county in a covered wagon, and settling in Clarinda, where they have continued to reside a little over 53 years, excepting the years of 1871-2, which were spent on a farm south of the city.
She was the mother of eleven children, one of whom, Albert, died in infancy. She is survived by a husband and ten children—Malinda Schneider, of Lathrop, Mo.; Horace, of New Orleans, La., Cora Sullivan, Humeston, Iowa; William, of Hoxie, Ark.; Carrie B. Collier, Mary Westcott, Margaret Poley, and Charles F., of Clarinda; Harry and Jessie, Medford, Oregon; three sisters and one brother. Her sisters, Mrs. Ward and Mrs. Moore, were with her when she passed away. All of her girls and one of her boys, Charles F., were with her to the last, rendering loving aid in smoothing her pathway to death and the grave. Her love for her children was strong, always looking after their little as well as their greater wants while in the home with her, and when in homes to themselves giving good counsel and cheer.
As a companion to her husband, she was above the average in all that it means to make life worth the living.
About three years ago she was stricken with paralysis, from which she never entirely recovered. Everything that loving hearts and willing hands could do to aid her in her fight against that dread disease was done, but of no avail. She was a member of the M. E. church of Clarinda in its earliest history, doing good work for its upbuilding on all occasions. A pioneer in her youth in the settlement of northern Indiana, a pioneer in the settlement of Page county, and a pioneer in her church work in Clarinda; a good woman and a good mother has gone to her reward.
The funeral took place Monday at 3 p. m., from the home, conducted by Rev. J.W. Abel. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Sep 16, 1909 and CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Sep 16, 1909

Last Thursday he suffered a stroke of paralysis, from which he never regained consciousness, passing away peacefully early the next morning. His daughter, Mrs. Nellie Cozad, took the early train but he had expired before her arrival. The sad news cast a gloom over our people and it could hardly be believed that his stalwart and noble form would never again be seen on the busy streets of this city as had been the pleasure for the past 48 years. Mr. Butler was born in Wayne county, Ind., Sept. 13, 1827, being one of a family of eight children. His boyhood home was in the wilds of the "Hoosier" state, then well occupied by the Indians, and his mother died when he was but four years old. In 1851 he was married to Miss Margaret McCowen. In 1855 they moved to eastern Iowa and in 1856 located in Page county, pre-empting 160 acres in Harlan township. In 1865 he purchased 305 acres now occupied by the Iowa State hospital; Farming, stock and grain shipping occupied his time until 1882. He was a member of the first board of supervisors elected in 1861 and served several terms. In 1869 he was elected a representative to the state legislature and served two terms. Again in 1883 he was elected representative, and it was through his great influence that the insane hospital was located here. In fact Mr. Butler's object was to build up and improve Clarinda and Page county, and every worthy enterprise had his full support. His death is deeply deplored by all. He leaves a daughter, Mrs. Nellie Cozad, to mourn his death, and a host of fellow citizens. The funeral took place Sunday at 2:30 p. m. under the auspices of the Masonic lodge, Rev. W. W. Merritt, of the Red Oak Universalist church, preaching a very touching sermon, and his remains laid to rest under the impressive Masonic services in the presence of nearly a hundred brethern of the order and a large concourse of people. Peace to his ashes, rest to his soul. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, May 12, 1904

It is hard to realize that the familiar form of Mr. Wm. Butler will be seen no more on the streets of our city, where he has been such a prominent figure for so many years, but death comes and claims its victims when we least suspect. When Mr. Butler took the train for Napier, Mo., only a week previous to his death, he did not realize that he would see his home town no more—but such are the workings of Divine Providence. He was sick less than twenty-four hours and had a stroke of paralysis Thursday, which rendered him unconscious up to the time of his death Friday morning.
William Butler was born in Wayne county, Indiana, on the 13th day of September, 1827, and died on the 6th day of May, 1904, on his farm near the town of Napier, Mo., aged 76 years, 8 months and 22 days. He was born and raised on a farm and familiar with the hardships incident thereto. In the spring of 1843, he with the rest of his father's family, moved to Whitley county, Indiana, and resided in a heavy timbered part of the country—the home of numerous tribes of Indians. Here it was that he obtained his first experiences that stood him well in the battle of life's problems in after years. It was the hardships endured in a new country like this was that tended to make strong his character and fitted him for the duties and responsibilities in later life.
On the 2nd day of February, 1851, he was married to Miss Margaret McCowen, of Richmond, Ind., and settled in Whitley county, Ind., on a farm where he resided until the year 1855, when he moved to New London, in Henry county, Ia. During the spring of the year 1856, he with two of his brothers, Jessie and
Jacob, with their families, migrated to Page county, where they settled on pre-emption claims in Harlan township.
Mr. Butler purchased a farm north of Clarinda in the spring of 1855 where he moved with his family and resided for a number of years. The Clarinda Hospital for Insane buildings are now located on the farm. In 1871 he became an extensive grain and stock merchant, and built the first grain elevator in Clarinda, and in connection with his brother, Jacob, they conducted the grain and stock-business for eleven years, under the firm name of Butler Bros., doing an extensive and profitable business.
On July 8th, his wife, Margaret died, and on the third day of March, 1873, he was again united in marriage to Miss Eleanor D. McCarty, who died on the 30th of July 1900 leaving an only daughter, Nellie, who now survives her father, and is the only survivor of the family. Mrs. Nellie Cozad was born in Denver, Colo., on the 26th of August, 1875, and she and her husband, Mr. J. W. Cozad, have been making their home with Mr. Butler in this city.
Mr. Butler represented Harlan township on the board of supervisors for eight years, and Nodaway township four years. He was a representative of this district in the lower house in the thirteenth, fourteenth, twentieth and twenty-first general assemblies of the legislatures of Iowa. In 1884, in the house of representatives, he made a strong fight for the town of Clarinda in trying to secure for the town of Clarinda the location of the asylum which attempt was successful. He was an honored member of the Masons, the Odd Fellows, the Knights of Pythias and the Knights Templar.
In later years he has been a little more conservative in his business relations, conducting the Palace Livery Stable in Clarinda, and leading a more quiet life. In politics, he was a republican, staunch and true. In charities liberal, never turning the needy or poor from his door empty-handed. He was always an important factor in the promotion of the enterprises for the upbuilding of tbe town and community in which he lived, and probably no citizen of Page county was better known.
The funeral services were held at the home Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. W. W. Merritt, of Red Oak, and the burial services were in charge of the Masonic order. The services at the cemetery were very impressive and the body of Mr. Butler was laid to rest beneath the flowers. Of his many  friends.   The relatives from a distance were as follows- Mr. Albert Butler, from Decatur, Ind., Miss Lizzie Nugent, of New London, Iowa, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Sullivan and son, Butler Sullivan, of Humeston, Ia., of Red Oak [?], and Mrs. J. S. Schneider, of Lathrop, Mo. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, May 10, 1904

Mrs. Edna Butterfleld, wife of L. K. Butterfleld, formerly a Clarinda lady, died Thursday, July 27, 1916, at a hospital in Wheatland, Wyo., about thirty miles from her home, which was on a ranch near Lingle, Wyo. It not being known that she was afflicted with a fatal ailment until about the time of her death, her demise came as a surprise as well as a shock to her relatives and friends. Among those who mourn are numerous of her school time and other friends in Clarinda. The late Mrs. Butterfleld was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Marley, and was born in Clarinda, Sept. 3, 1882. As Edna Marley she grew to womanhood in this city. Here she was educated in the public schools. Nov. 5, 1906, she was married at the home of her grandfather, the late J. A. Marley, in Clarinda, to Burl Whitnah, who, a year later, was killed by a live electric light wire while at work at his occupation for an electric light plant at Santa Cruz, Calif. His remains were brought back to Clarinda for burial. This week Burl Whitnah's brother, Penton Whitnah,
was killed in Clarinda by a fall from a tree while at work for the Iowa Telephone company. On the 7th of July, 1910, the then Mrs. Whitnah married married L. K. Butterfleld of Knoxville, who had been an engineer in Clarinda for the Lee electric plant. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Butterfleld moved to Fort Dodge where they spent three years, and about one year ago they moved to Wyoming, she going to Lingle in July, and he in August. They were desirably located on a claim near Lingle, and near them were Mrs. Butterfleld's parents, also happily located on a ranch of their own. The world was bright and happy for Mrs. Butterfleld, relatives and friends were gladdened by her presence among them; she was looking forward to a continuance of contentment in life, when the Death Angel called for her. Thus it is with life! Human expectations often fail of realization, and often are relatives and friends called upon unexpectedly to mourn, as in this case. Mrs. Butterfleld died as she had lived, a member of the Baptist faith. Years ago in Hendricks county, Ind., while visiting her grandmother, the late Mrs. John Jones, she joined the Friendship Baptist church in the community in which her grandmother lived. The remains of Mrs. Butterfleld were brought to Clarinda, and reached here last Friday night accompanied by the father, A. J. Marley; the husband, L. K. Butterfleld, and Edwin Marley, the twin brother of the deceased. The remains were taken to the undertaking rooms of the J. B. M. Pruitt Furniture and Undertaking company, where they were kept until Saturday, when they were conveyed to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bailey, on South Fourteenth street, for the funeral, Mrs. Bailey being an old-time friend of the deceased. The funeral service was held Saturday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Abram S. Woodard, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church of this city. Interment was in the Clarinda cemetery in the Marley family burial lot. Mrs. A. J. Marley, the mother of the deceased, although in better health than when she left Clarinda, was not in good enough health to come to Clarinda to the funeral, and another relative who could not come was the infant daughter of the deceased, a fine child, named like her mother, Edna.
