*Her D.Cert. (17443 {Newport #12}) was transcribed as giving dt/o John C. 
   Butler & Lorena Beale (all 3 b. Va.), but miscalculates age (37y,11m,25d). 
   I read her mother as "Lavena." (mh) 

Her husband's obits ("Suffolk News-Herald," "Smithfield Times," & donated, 
   June 1957) are posted at:

Her mother, Levinia "Winney" (BEALE; Mrs. John C.) BUTLER, applied for a 
   Confederate widow's pension 21 Apr 1910, stating her late husband played 
   fife during the war, "and ever was very nervous."  King's "Historical 
   Notes" gives John D. BUTLER, drummer, Co. E, 9th VA Infanry.
