ROXANNA FRANCES JOYNER BUTLER 

   Roxanna Frances Joyner Butler, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah 
Joyner was born in the Black Creek community May 9, 1857, and died at her home

   In 1874 she was united in marriage to Jethro Butler, who with two children, 
J.E. Butler and Mrs. A.T. Rollings, and four grandchildren, survive her.  She

loyalty endeared her to all who knew her.  She loved the old true things of 
life, the plain and simple things of nature and of God.

   Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Nathan Pickett by the graveside on 
Friday afternoon and amid sorrowing friends and relations, her body was laid 
to rest in Rosemont Cemetery, the mound being covered with many lovely flowers.
