PASSING OF A GOOD WOMAN

Mrs. Ruth E. Buttram died at the home of her daughter Mrs. J. E. Hales in 
Buchanan, Ga., on Oct. 24th. Her remains were laid to rest beside her 
husband J.S. Buttram who preceded her to the grave two years, at the family 
cemetery near Mars Hill church under the direction of F.P. Owens. The 
funeral services were conducted by Rev. Ira Patty and Rev. C.F. Hughes.

She was the mother of 12 children. She is survived by seven sons and two 
daughters. They are W.O., T.M., F.M., C.M., J.S. , A.J., S.W. and Mrs. R.E. 
Hales and Mary Kornegay.

Mrs. Buttram's father was Thomas Byrd and her mother's maiden name was 
Elizabeth Narris. Ruth was born June 30, 1852. Her mother died when she was 
very small. She was married to J.S. Buttram at the age of fourteen in the 
troublesome days of Reconstruction in the year 1866. She was obliged to 
card, spin, weave and make the clothes for the family for a number of years, 
although she was only a "child" herself. She joined the Congregational 
Methodist church at the age of 15 and remained with that church during her 
life time. Although her life was the life of hardship, there was never a 
mother more devoted to her family. Her married life began in the days of 
Reconstruction after a terrible war and ended 66 years afterward in the days 
of the Depression caused by one of the worst wars that the world has ever 
known. Her whole life was given to the care of her family.
