LOTTIE GROVES BUTLER

Garrett County, Maryland

  Residents of this community were shocked to learn of the death of Mrs. Lottie 
Groves Butler, who died at her home near Jennings about 11 o'clock Tuesday 
night.  Although she had been ill about a month her neighbors and friends were 
not aware of the seriousness of her condition.
  Mrs. Butler was sixty-three years of age.  She was born in Grant County, near 
Moorefield, W.Va., a daughter of the late Samuel A. and Mary E. Groves.  She 
came to Garrett County with her parents in early childhood and had lived in this 
section for about fifty-seven years.  She married Hampton Butler, a well known 
Garrett County farmer, forty-four years ago, and for forty-one years they have 
resided at their home near Jennings.  Mrs. Butler was a member of the Methodist 
Church.  She was a woman of admirable character and during her residence here 
she acquired a large circle of friends.
  In her passing she leaves her husband and the following children: Harry L. 
Butler, Cuyahoga Falls, O., Mrs. Roy Patton, Grantsville, Mrs. William Yommer, 
Mrs. John Campbell and Mrs. Earl Burow, all of Jennings.  Also surviving are one 
sister, Mrs. John Blocher, Jennings, twenty-three grandchildren and two great-
grandchildren.
  Funeral services were held at 2:30 o'clock Friday afternoon from the Jennings 
Lutheran Church.  Rev. Samuel D. Sigler, pastor of the Grantsville Lutheran 
Church, officiated.  He was assisted by Rev. A. C. Curran, pastor of the 
Jennings church.  Music was furnished by a male quartet from the Salisbury (Pa.) 
Lutheran church.  Serving as pallbearers were Rodney Patton, Harry Patton, Dale 
Patton, Robert Butler, Robert Yommer and William Yommer, all of whom were 
grandsons of the deceased.  Interment was in the Grantsville Cemetery.
