Death of John Butler

The sad news has been received by the relatives of the death of Mr. John Butler 
at the home of his sister, Mrs. Geo. W. Swindle, at Pelham, while on a visit, 
of heart failure.

He has been in poor health for some time.  Was raised in this county, where he 
has several brothers and sisters.  He was still in his teens when he enlisted 
in the 2nd Ga State Troops under Capt. Leonard Worrill, participating in all 
the engagements from Chattanooga to Savannah, also in the last battle of the 
war at Columbus; was captured there and carried a prisoner to Macon, there 
paroled.  He was a brave soldier, always at his post of duty, cheerfully 
answering roll call.  He will answer here no more; his spirit has gone to the 
home beyond the skies to answer the last roll call up yonder.

A Comrade
