The body was brought home, arriving here Tuesday evening, and the funeral services were held Friday morning at 9:30 o'clock at the St. Gabriel's church, where Solemn High Requiem Mass was said for the repose of the soul. Fr. Becker was celebrant, R. Donahue Deacon, Fr. O'Hern Sub Deacon, Fr. Doyle Master of Ceremonies, and Fr. Nolan, Ass't Master of Ceremonies. Interment was made in the St. Gabriel's Cemetery. Maynard Butler was about 23 years of age at the time of his death, having been born at Olean March 8, 1896. He was educated in the Olean and Port Allegany schools and was a graduate of the Rochester business College and the Bryant & Stratton college of Buffalo. He had been employed with the Central Pennsylvania Lumber company and the Mississippi Glass Company and left here over a year ago to join the Ordnance Department at Washington. He had been ordered to prepare for service with the department at London when taken ill. He was intensely patriotic and desired to do the greatest possible service for his country. He was a favorite with the young people of this place and was liked by all who knew him for his pleasant manner, genial ways and fine character. He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.M. Butler, and one sister, Mrs. Gertrude Morehead of Dunnington Va.
