General Notes: Husband - George Washington Butler

---

He was born in West Wheatfield township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, and was only a boy when the family settled at the home in Burrell township. He attended public school in the neighborhood, and in his youth became familiar with both farm work and general blacksmithing while helping his father. In the early eighteen-eighties he was employed on the Pennsylvania railroad for a time as fireman, between Pittsburgh and Altoona. After 1902 he had complete charge of the homestead place, where he carried on general farming, also engaging in blacksmithing, and he was also interested in the manufacture of lumber, owning a sawmill at the home place. He bought other lands in Burrell and the Wheatfields, at one time owning over three hundred acres.
He filled most of the local offices at various times, having served as school director, treasurer (two years), clerk, auditor, tax collector (three years) and assessor (six years). In 1902 he was elected justice of the peace, and after serving as such for five years was reelected in 1907. In 1910 he was United States census enumerator of Burrell township. Politically Mr. Butler was always a stanch Republican, and a worker for the success of the party, serving as member of the election board, and as judge and inspector of elections.
