son of Gabriel Butler (ca 1779- ca 1856) and his second wife who by family tradition was a Littrell
Mr. Chisholm Butler, Sr., one of the oldest and most widely known citizens of our county, died at his home near Centre Star on Sunday night last, aged about 75 years. The cause of his death was an affection of the brain, - congestion or brain fever - and his sickness was of short duration, only eight or ten days.
Thus has passed away one of the most familiar figures of East Lauderdale and one of the best men in our county; a worthy and honorable citizen. He is survived by his wife and a number of children. Mr. Butler was a man of strong character, and filled a leading position among his neighbors, among whom he was justly held in high esteem. Though advanced in years he possessed a robust physique, and up to the attack that carried him away he was hale and strong, discharging actively the duties of life. In his death the family have the warm sympathy of a large circle of friends.
