GEORGE M. BUTTERFIELD, of Bear Valley, is one of the substantial and most highly
esteemed citizens of San Benito county, where he has made his home for so many
years and become so justly popular with all his fellow-townsmen.

  Mr. Butterfield is the third son of the revered Thomas Butterfield, an honored
pioneer of California, and a resident of Hollister. Our subject was born at
Wilton, Maine, August 24, 1833. He came with his father across the plains, in
1833, to California. He is now the owner of a fertile and productive farm in
Bear Valley, and with his estimable wife and family is enjoying the fruits of
years of patient industry and frugality.

  Mr. Butterfield was married, in 1858, February 14, near the town of Alpha, in
Nevada county, California, to Miss Cordelia C., daughter of G. P. Hill. Mrs.
Butterfield is a native of Vermont, and came with her parents to California, in
1857, and located in Napa county. Of her six children, four sons are living,
namely: Oscar, George A., Elmer E. and Ebben Thomas. At this time, 1892, all are
still single and are industrious, sober young men, prosperous farmers, popular
throughout San Benito county, and are a credit to the honored name they bear.
Mr. Butterfield has cause to be proud of so promising a family.
