DAUGHTER OF PROMINENT CLINTON COUNTY PIONEERS DIES 

Maquoketa and community mourns the loss of another one of its splendid women; 
a lady whose character, whose loyalty to loved ones and friends, and whose 
affiliation with high ideals had won for her that admiration and respect which 
will linger long in the memories of the community. Unpretentious in her good 
deeds, Mrs. Henry Butterworth showered many kindnesses upon the less 
fortunate, and while many of these charitable acts were unheralded and unknown 
to the outside world, there was a constant current of helpfulness going forth 
from her hand and purse, working good in a quiet, effective way. Although Mrs. 
Butterworth was identified with no church or fraternal organization, she 
exercised Christianity continually, practiced fraternity every day of her life 
and assisted worthy causes along all lines of uplift, regardless of creed or 
denomination. 

Especially was Mrs. Butterworth loyal to her parents to whom she devoted her 
young life, truly reciprocal of the love which they had conferred upon her, 
and up until they passed away she was by their sides eager to scatter joy and 
love along the pathway of their declining years. As a daughter, a sister, a 
wife, a friend Mrs. Butterworth proved to be a woman of true worth, sterling 
in every act and deed, imbued with a fondness for home and those who lingered 
there. More stolid than marble; more durable than bronze, will the monument of 
her life stand forth, emblematic of one of God’s greatest works – a noble 
woman. 

Mrs. Caddie Goodenow-Butterworth was born in Clinton county south of this city 
May 5, 1868, on the old homestead farm where her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Royal 
Goodenow, established their home in the pioneer days. Here she spent her 
girlhood days, happy as she enjoyed the rural life under the parental roof. On 
January 10, 1894 she was united in marriage to H. O. Butterworth of this city 
can their blended lives have been blest with happiness until about a year ago 
when Mrs. Butterworth’s health began to fail. Nothing was left undone that 
might conquer the affliction, medical skill was tested to its utmost and 
tender care was lavishly expended, but withal the love and tenderness that 
could be expended, the Master willed differently and she fell asleep at three 
o’clock Tuesday afternoon, October 7th, at her home on W. Pleasant street 
where Mr. and Mrs. Butterworth have resided for several years. 

Besides her heartbroken husband, she leaves three brothers, M. B. Goodenow of 
Burwell, Neb., Charles of Wall Lake, Iowa and Bert of Dupree, S. Dak. Also an 
uncle, Mr. Nathan Sherwood of Waterloo, Ia. The funeral will be held from the 
late home Friday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. Dr. J. G. Morgan of the 
Congregational church officiating. Interment will be made in Mt. Hope 
cemetery.
