Courier (Thorp, Clark County, Wis.) 09/03/1914 Butler, Alvin
(1882? - 28 Augl 1914) Alvin Butler,
residing on a farm in the town of Mead, Clark county, Wis., was
found dead in his bed at his home on Friday morning last. A shot
from a gun, evidently in his own hands, caused death. Other members
of the family in another part of the house failed to hear the
report of the gun and the tragedy remained unknown until morning.
District Attorney, W.J. Rush was consulted during the day, and he
decided no inquest was necessary, death evidently being caused by
Mr. Butler's own hands. No cause can be given for the deed, as Mr.
Butler was in good circumstances and apparently in excellent
health. His age was about thirty-two years. Among near relatives
are his mother, several brothers and one sister, all residents of
the towns of Mead and Mento. © Every submission is protected by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
