On Tuesday last Mr. John Butcher Sr., was taken sick and
continually grew worse until on Thursday evening he passed away.
The funeral took place on Sunday from his late home here to
Springvale church and from thence to Springvale Greenwood
cemetery.
Mr. Butcher was in his 81st years of age and was one of the
oldest settlers in this section of the country. He was an honest,
upright man and was held very high in the esteem of this whole
country by all who knew him.
He leaves a wife and seven children to mourn their loss, and
they have the sincere sympathy of this whole community in their
sad bereavement.
(Too late for last issue)
