Butts--Francis Bacon Butts went to glory from his home at Culverton, 
Hancock County, Feb 27, 1920

Bro. Butts was sixty-seven years old, and had been a member of a Baptist 
Church for fifty years and a deacon for about eighteen years. His heart 
was in his church and Sunday school at Culverton. One could not be with 
him long without hearing him speak of these interests. Mrs. Butts and 
seven children, four brothers and one sister survive him. One of these 
brothers is Rev. Joel Butts of Atlanta, beloved of all who know him. E. 
J. Forrester.

Note: Dr. E. J. Forrester was a member of the Washington Baptist 
Association. He was a pastor of the Sparta Baptist Church, from 1918 to 
1920. Forrester was also a professor of Bible at Mercer from 1905-1918. 
The Butts family were related through marriage to Rev. Jesse Mercer, 
founder of Mercer University.
