   W. H. BUTLER, farmer and stock-raiser, was born in Wayne County, Ind., June
14, 1819, and is a son of Eli and Jane (Buzan) Butler. natives of Georgia and
Kentucky respectively. These parties came to Indiana with their parents while it
was a Territory, where they married and reared a family of nine children. Eli
Butler was a farmer, and in 1827 located in Rush County, where he entered land
and continued twenty-five years, when he removed to Marion County and passed the
remainder of his days, dying at the age of eighty; his wife followed a few years
later at the age of eighty-five. The subject of this sketch, at the age of
twenty-one, began in life empty handed. He worked at job work and as a farm hand
for five years, when he settled upon forty acres he had purchased in Marion
County, and remained there five years. This he sold, and in the spring of 1860
came to Tipton County and located on the farm where he now lives. Here he found
a log cabin, and began to clear a home from the forest, experiencing all the
privations of pioneer life. He now has a good and well improved farm. Mr. Butler
was married, January 1, 1845, to Miss Sarah R. Dilliner, born in Pennsylvania
September 25, 1824, a daughter of Augustine Dilliner. They have nine
children-Elizabeth J., Phoebe A., George L., Smith D., Jesse W., Susan A.,
