BAKER TOWNSHIP (ABEL - GARDNER).
LOUIS BUTZER, farmer and stock-raiser, P. O. New Pittsburg, was born in Detroit,
Mich., November 21, 1837, and was reared near Geneseo, Ill. He was there
principally identified with farming and teaching. At the age of twenty-four he
went West and spent over five years through Nebraska, Wyoming, Nevada,
California, Utah and Oregon, partly in connection with the overland stage
company, and partly an individual enterprise. Returning to Henry County, Ill.,
he became actively engaged in farming and milling business, which after a few
years he abandoned, and went to Arkansas, but soon after returned and
subsequently came here, 1870, and located on present place, and has been
actively identified with his present industry since. He married in Henry County,
Ill., 1866, Miss Clara Light, who was born in Prussia and reared in Pennsylvania
and Illinois. They have a family of three sons and two daughters--Charlie,
Elizabeth, Daniel, Josie and Valentine. During the war he did service in Home
Guards of Carson City, Nev. Since locating here he served upon the school board
of his district for several years, also as Township Treasurer and Justice of the
Peace. He is an active member of the A. O. U. W. His farm contains 250 acres of
improved land, well fenced, watered and stocked, good buildings and an orchard
of over 500 trees, well assorted variety of fruits. The St. Louis & Santa Fe
Railroad runs through this place.
