Cornelius Brown BUTLER
PORTRAIT & BIOGRAPHICAL ALBUM OF FULTON COUNTY, ILLINOIS, Chicago: Biographical Publishing Co, 1890--LDS Film #934,984, Item 2:
pp. 727-728:
"Cornelius B. BUTLER, a brief sketch of whose life now claims attention from the reader, is a son of Abel BUTLER, one of Farmington's earliest and best known pioneers, who came to this place as early as 1842, while yet the surrounding country was in reality "a forest primeval." His coming was prior to the time of any railroads; in fact, everything was in a thoroughly uncultivated state, but he followed teaming as an occupation and succeeded admirably from a financial point of view. He was born and reared in New York and married Miss Eliza Loomis from the same State, and brought his wife and two children West with him even at that early day. After the steam horse ran through this section of the country he commenced to farm, and became the owner of one hundred and seventy acres of valuable land. At the age of seventy-eight he is still living at Farmington, and his wife is in her seventy-fifth year. To them were born four children, viz: Mary, who died when fifteen years old; Charles C., Cornelius Brown, and Frederick A., all of whom reside in Farmington.
The subject of this sketch was born September 21, 1846, at Farmington, where he spent his youth and attended the High School. Upon reaching his sixteenth year he commenced teaming, hauling many ties and other material for the building of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad. He was married in the year 1872 to Miss Frances Leeper, daughter of Charles and Rachel Ann (Williams) Leeper, natives of Pennsylvania and Ohio, respectively, and married in the latter named State, both having been previously married. Of this union there were born four children, viz.: Thomas J., Mary M., John and Fannie Z. Mrs. BUTLER's father was firswt married in Pennsylvania, and by that wife had six children, two of whom are now living, viz: Allen, a resident of Kansas; and William, who makes his home in Missouri. His mother was first married to Robert Laurence, of Ohio, and to them were born four children, three of whom are living: Thomas, who lives in Ohio; Benjamin, a resident of Trenton, N.J.; and Robert, who lives in England.
The father lived to be seventy-seven years old and the mother sixty-six years. They came West, settled in Bloomington, Ill., where Mrs. BUTLER was born. Her parents removed to Iowa when she was three years old, and in this journey she was led across the Mississippi River, which was covered with thick ice. She grew to maidenhood at DeWitt and Burlington, attending the High Schools at the former place, and the Baptist University in the latter. In 1868 her parents removed to Farmington, Ill., and for one term she taught school there.
Mr. and Mrs. BUTLER became the parents of four children, viz: Blanche, Adella A., Charles E., who died when four years old; and Harry E. All of these children are noted for brightness, and their parents are justly proud of them, because of the intellectuality and musical talent. Their home is indeed a charming one, the interior being filled with books, music, works of art, and all that pertains to culture and elegance. Both Mr. and Mrs. BUTLER ar members of the Methodist Episcopal Church of this city, and they delight to do deeds of charity to those less fortunate than themselves, having won thus a warm personal regard throughout the entire community. He is an ardent Republican, true at all times to the interests of his party." BUTLER Family Bible:

"Frederick A. BUTLER is a native-born citizen of this county and is now an important member of its farming community, owning and ably managing a finely improved farm within the corporate limits of Farmington. In this town of his birth he is a leader in social and political circles, and he has here a very handsome residence on East Fort Street.
Mr. BUTLER is the youngest son of one of Farmington's oldest settlers. He was born on his father's homestead, January 9, 1850, and was reared and educated here, completing his education in the High School. He was bred to the life of a farmer, and having a natural taste for the calling he adopted it for his life work when he arrived at years of discretion. He owns a sixty-acre farm within the corporate limits of Farmington, which is under excellent tillage and is amply provided with neat and well-ordered buildings. Besides this farm he has an interest in two hundred and ten acres of land, in partnership with his brothers Charles C. and Cornelius B. His career as a farmer has shown him to be sharp, practical and a good manager. He conducts his work in a business-like manner, and so as to secure good returns, and the income that he derives from the cultivation of his land is very satisfactory. He is actively interested in all that pertains to the welfare of his native township, and no one is more zealous in promoting its interests than he. He is a keen politician, keeping himself well informed in regard to party movements. In his views he is a decided Republican, and in 1890 his political friends came within four votes of electing him Mayor of Farmington.
Mr. BUTLER and Miss Lettie BUTLER were wedded in the month of December, 1875, and the marriage has proved one of mutual happiness. They have a fine family of five children living--Ford (or Rutherford), Ivah, Bertha, Myrtle and Earl. One died unnamed.
Mrs. BUTLER is a daughter of Peter and Sarah Jane (White) BUTLER. Her father was born in Allegheny, Pa., and her mother was also a native of that State. The father was a farmer by occupation and was married in his native State. In 1868 he came to Illinois and settled in Young Hickory Township. They are enjoying the declining years of well-spent lives in the peace and comforts of a cozy home. They are the parents of eight children--Rachael, Mary, Jane, Minerva, Charlotte, Lettie, Peter and Eva. Rachael became the wife of Mr. Van Spence, a farmer of Farmington; Mary is a dressmaker in Farmington; Jane married B. Berry of Canton; Minerva is the wife of John McCoy, of Independence, Pa.; Charlotte married I.N. Hayslip, a barber in Farmington; Peter, who is a farmer, resides near London Mills; Eva is the wife of Jerry White, of London Mills. Mrs. BUTLER was born in Allegheny County, Pa., and came to Illinois in 1868 with her father. She is a woman of fine character and good Christian principles, and is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. BUTLER is prominently connected with the Odd Fellows, and is serving at present as Noble Grand of Memento Lodge, No. 44. Hehas served in all the chairs of the order."
