John G. Buttermore, Perry Tp, Fayette Co, Pa (P.O. Perryopolis Pa) Nov 24, 
1924. This is a large brick house standing on a slight elevation back 200 ft 
from the Road to Wick Haven just north abt half a mile from Perryopolis Pa & 
on the right hand side, after crossing the RR tracks.  Mr Buttermore  said he 
was born Dec 29, 1847 in Springfield Tp, Fayette Co, Pa near Rogers Mill.  His 
mother was Mary or as she was called "Polly" Grim, who was about 76 yrs old  
when she died abt 25 yrs ago (born say 1823), daughter of John Grim & his wife 
Susan Wilt.  He said his mother was not married to his father & that Thomas  
Boyd, who died here at his home May 16, 1924 was a cripple from childhood from 
white swelling & was 72 years old (born say 1851 or 1852) & while he could not 
just recall the name of his, Thomas Boyd's, father, his wife, who he called  
in, thought it was John Boyd of Uniontown, but he did not think so.  Mr  
Buttermore said his Uncle Jacob Grim, an old coal digger, aged 84 yrs & an 
old  soldier living near the edge of Scottdale, Pa at Kifertown, Pa could 
tell  
more.  I must try to see him. Mr Buttermore said he was in the Civil War,  
entering when 16 & serving 9 months until the war closed, & in one battle, he  
was in, his cousin, Dr Smith Buttermore, later of Connellsville, Pa was  
fighting on the other side in the Confederate army.
He said to see his half sister & also Thomas Boyd's half sister, younger viz  
Mrs Ella Ghrist, living in East Liberty, just adjoining Vanderbilt, Pa.  She  
is the wife of Wm Ghrist, a coal miner.  Mrs Buttermore thought she would have 
her father's bible.
