Elbert Butler Services Today

Funeral Of Elbert Butler, Jr., Held This Afternoon From Richardson’s Chapel

Funeral services were held this afternoon from Richardson’s Funeral Home for 
Elbert Butler, Jr., who died Saturday evening after an illness of several 
days.  Rev. C. C. Houda of the Baptist church, officiated, with the interment 
following being made in the Ontario cemetery.
Elbert Butler, Jr., was born in Woodbine, Iowa, May 11, 1878.  He came to 
Oregon in the spring of 1890 and had spent practically all the time since in 
Malheur county, where he was engaged in stock farming.  

He married Miss Ada Ellen Glenn in Boise, Aug. 18, 1898, the two making their 
home on the ranch which Mr. Butler had bough eight miles south of Ontario.
Surviving are his wife and their children, Conley, Vernon, and Edmund Butler, 
all of this county, and Mrs. Helen Strane of Salt Lake City.  There are also 
two brothers, Will of Ontario, and Rea, recently of Caldwell, three sisters, 
Mrs. Elizabeth Farmer, Ontario; Mrs. Anna Tollith, Meridian, and Mrs. Pearl 
Snodgrass, Klamath Falls.  
An unusual coincidence of Mr. Butler’s passing was that he died on the birthday 
of the uncle for whom he was named, Elbert Butler, Sr., whose death occurred a 
couple of years ago.
