The Miami Helmet

Sept. 20, 1883

Ward Butler

On Wednesday, Sept. 13, 1883, Ward, only son of James and Ida Butler, aged 3 years, 11 months and 5 days. The father died when the baby was but a year old, and now the little one has followed him to the home on high. In her affliction the mother was carefully watched over and cared for by the Odd Fellows, to whom she feels very grateful for their kind ministrations in her time of need.
