David Noah Butler, son of George and Nancy Butler, was born in Buffalo County at Nelson, Wis. on Dec. 12, 1870. He died at his home on Jan. 19, 1950 at the age of 79 of a stroke. At the age of ten he moved with his parents to Augusta; several years later to Mentor Township in Clark County, where he grew to manhood. In 1900 he moved to Butler Township, formerly Mead, where he spent the rest of his life.

On Sept. 15, 1891, he was united in marriage to Ida Mae Howe of Augusta, Wis.

Preceding him in death, one son died in infancy, four brothers, William, Isaac, James and Charles, and two sisters, Christina Brown and one in infancy.

Mr. Butler was a kind husband and father, and has been a hard working man as long as his health permitted. He was well liked and respected in the community and leaves many relatives and friends to mourn his death.
