Butler, a well known resident of Le Mars since early youth, died at a hospital in Sioux City at 4 o'clock Saturday moring, following an illness of five weeks. Death was due to an internal cancer. When taken sick Mr. Butler was advised by physicians to undergo an operation, but an examination proved it was useless and his case was pronounced hopeless. Towards the end Mr. Butler realized his condition and faced death like a man, calmly and with assurance, conversing with relatives until within a few hours of his death, when he fell into a doze and passed peacefully away. John H. Butler was born September 7, 1870, at Simcoe, Ontario, Canada, and came with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Butler, to Le Mars in 1886. He leaves five brothers and three sisters to mourn his loss. They are: Harley J. Butler and George Butler, of Le Mars; Frank Butler, of Hinton; William R. Butler, of Madison, S. D.; Roy Butler, Mrs. R. S. Christy, Mrs. Elmer Burkeen and Mrs. Harry W. Haight, all of Sioux City. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon at the Beely undertaking rooms, the services being conducted by Rev. J. W. Case of the First Baptist Church. John Butler was a lover of horses and was an expert handler and driver, and his temperament fitted him for the breaking of young horses, having patience and gentleness. He followed the racing game for many years and had charge of strings of horses for various owners and was a well known figure on the race tracks in many cities. He was a most likeable man and had scores of friends in many different walks of life. He was generous to a fault and was always willing to share his last dollar with a friend or an acquaintance. The floral offerings were beautiful and contributed by many friends. A floral wreath fashioned in the form of a horse shoe, intrerlaced with a driving whip, sent by his chums and associates was recieved as a token of memorial from those who knew and judged him best.
