Butler Interment in Belleview Cemetery In our last week's issue a brief announcement appeared of the death of Rev. W. W. Butler, which occurred at his home near Cypress church, where he had resided for the past seventeen years. He moved from Scott's Hill, Henderson County, to the place where he succumbed, after a long and useful life. He was a faithful, earnest and successful Minister of the Southern Methodist church for near fifty years. He is survived by a lonely companion, six sons and one daughter. Funeral services were held in the Methodist church in Bells, Friday morning, June 20th, by his pastor, Rev. E. L. Robinson, assisted by Rev. C. C. Newbill and J. C. W. Nunn. Brief tributes of respect and love were also paid by Esq. F. M. Goldsmith, a long co-laborer and close friend, and Revs. Bryant, Hope and Maxedon, pastors of the Presbyterian, Christian and Methodist churches, respectively, of Humboldt. But few funeral services so impressive, so full of deep sympathy, have been held in this place for the past twenty-five years. After the services at the church, his body was taken in charge by his Masonic brethren of the Alamo Lodge, assisted by members from Bells and Humboldt, and impressive burial services conducted at the grave. Rare, numerous, beautiful and fragrant floral offerings covered the grave, underneath resting the body of a loyal, true soldier of the Cross. May the Good Spirit be your constant help in this time of deep sorrow, is the united prayer of hosts of friends, bereaved companion, children, grand-children and other near relatives of this departed servant of God.
