P.A. Butler was born Nov. 1, 1846 in the state of Georgia and died at his home near Fairmount November 7, 1926. Surviving him are six children, J.T. Butler, Buena Vista, Calif.; Mrs. Burnie M. Searcy, Honodia, Okla.; Mrs. Lucy Jackson, Deming, N.M.; Mrs. Alice E. Walker, Pittsburg, Kansas; Mrs. Arva L. Morris, Gentry and J.W. Butler, Siloam Springs; a brother, Henry M. Butler, Hartshorne, Okla. He also left 30 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. When a young man Mr. Butler married Kathleen Carter who preceded him in death about 40 years. In the year 1868 Mr. Butler, with about 30 other families from Georgia, moved to the Fairmount neighborhood which then was known as Georgia Flat. From that time on Mr. Butler spent his life in that neighborhood where everybody loved him and always enjoyed his happy and cheerful disposition. He was a Confederate soldier during the civil war, enlisting and fighting under General Wheeler for that principle which he thought was right. As long as his health would permit he attended the Confederate reunions and enjoyed talking over old times with his buddies of war days. Uncle Ab, as he was familiarly known, lived the Christianity that he believed and was always ready to do good. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. A.L. Cline of Siloam Springs, followed by interment in the Fairmount cemetery. He was a good man, a good citizen and a true friend.
