Jackson Argus – Butts County, Week of December 17, 1897
Lucy Buttrill

Mrs. Lucy Buttrill died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. L. D. Watson, last 
Sunday morning at 5 o’clock.

Mrs. Buttrill was 76 years of age, and had been quite ill for some time past.  
On Tuesday of last week she was operated upon by surgeons, for tumor, which was 
very large, and extended from the left to the right side.  The operation was 
successful, and the wound was healing nicely, but on account of age and extreme 
weakness brought on by suffering, it was impossible for her to take medicines 
in proper quantities, and death, came as above stated.

Mrs. Buttrill was a member of the Baptist church and her funeral was preached 
there by the pastor last Monday morning, and her remains were interred in the 
afternoon.

No woman who has ever lived in this community possessed in a higher degree the 
love and respect of the people.  She was a living sermon on virtue and 
righteousness, and though her death was expected by all, yet it is a sad 
dispensation of Providence.

Mrs. Buttrill was married at the age of 16 years, and many of our people 
attended her golden wedding 10 years ago.

Her life in our community is an incentive to nobler living.
