  JESSE BUTERBAUGH,* merchant, a representative business man of Burnside

M. and Mary (Zigler) Buterbaugh.
  George M. Buterbaugh was born in Indiana County, where he still lives, being

Township, Indiana County; Susanna, who is the wife of John Edmonson, of West 
Virginia; and Ida, who is the wife of O. Hall, of Indiana County.
  Jesse Buterbaugh attended school more or less regularly until he was fifteen 
years of age and for three years afterward worked on farms and then worked by 
the day for about six years, accumulating in this way capital with which he 
started into a livery business at Cherry Tree, where he continued for three 
years.  After selling that business he was interested in limber for one year, 
then spent one year in the hotel business in Cambria County and later went into 
the restaurant business at Cherry Tree.  Since then Mr. Buterbaugh has been in 
the general mercantile line at his present location.

County, and they have one child, Hale, who is employed by the Pennsylvania 
Railroad Company; and Ethel, Freda, Genevieve, Geraldine and Jesse.  Mr.

citizenship but he has never been willing to accept any office.  He belongs to 
several fraternal organizations.
