Butler, S. Orville

Son of G.W. & D.C. Butler
Died May 28, 1889

S. Orville most likely was the second child of George W. and Delilah "Lila" Catherine (Lynn) Butler, although he is not listed in lineages put together by Butler descendants. The Treasures from the Past listing confuses the issue a little by interpreting his mother's initials as "A.C.," but that most likely is a misreading of "D.C." George Butler was a son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Fulcomer) Butler, also buried at Hice-Pershing.

George W., born 19 July 1859 in Indiana County and married Delilah "Lila" Catherine Lynn on 22 June 1886 in Indiana County. Their first recorded child, according to online lineages, was Willa May, probably born during 1887; and their second, Stella M., born during 1891. S. Orville fits into a slot between the two and probably died not long after birth. Their other two children were Myra Lynn, born 1899; and Edward George, born 1903.

The family moved from Indiana County to Johnstown ca. 1903 and George died there on 30 December 1910. Lila lived until 8 January 1940. Both are buried in Grandview Cemetery at Johnstown.
