Prominent Resident Passes Quietly On
David R. Butler Dies At His Home After Long Illness

  Monday evening at 8:30, David R. Butler quietly passed away at his 
home, 426 Locust street, after a long illness due to complication of 
diseases.
  Mr. Butler for a number of years was employed as foreman of the 
boiler plant at the D. M. Bare Paper mill, a position which he filled 
in a highly efficient and successful manner until impaired health 
necessitated him to relinquish his duties.
  Mr. Butler was born at McKee on Dec. 3, 1885, a son of David and 
Levina Butler, both now deceased. Surviving are his wife, Verna 
(Albright) Butler; one daughter, Miss Evelyn Butler, a student nurse in 
the Mercy hospital in Altoona, and one son, Donald Butler, at home. 
Also surviving are one brother and two sisters, Harry G. Butler of 
Roaring Spring, Mrs. Verna Lingenfelter of East Freedom and Mrs. Harry 
Osterle of Martinsburg. He was a member of the First Church of the 
Brethren in Roaring Spring and of the Men's Bible class. Funeral 
services were conducted at the home in charge of his pastor, Rev. S. P. 
Early, Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Interment was made in the 
Albright cemetery, Roaring Spring.
