2d wife Jane Osborne, FAG # 76460350 (1832)
Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Saturday, August 2, 1884 p. 2
Died. At his home, near Clarinda, Iowa on the morning of the 25th of July 1884, Samuel Butler, aged 91 years.
Mr. Butler was a native of the state of Georgia, where he lived until the year 1806, when he emigrated, with his father, to the state of Ohio, and settled in Preble county. The year following, they moved to Wayne county, Indiana, and settled near Richmond. The country being a dense wilderness, inhabited only by Indians. On the 5th day of Feb. 1818, he was joined in marriage to Miss Mary Davenport, by whom he had eight children, four boys and four girls. On the 3rd of August 1831, she died, and he was again married in Sept. 1832, to Miss Jane Osborn, who now survives him. By this marriage there were born to them three children, one boy and two girls. In the spring of 1844 he emigrated to northern Indiana and settled in a very heavy timbered country, where he lived until 1857, when he sold his farm and moved to Page county, Iowa, where he has resided up to the time of his death. He was a believer in the doctrines of the Friends or Quakers, in whose church he held a membership and all through life he has exemplified their teachings practically by living in peace and harmony with all persons. His illness confining him to his bed, lasted about eight days. During the first three or four days he seemed to suffer, but at the close of his illness he was very quiet and passed away without a struggle. Dr. P. W. Lewellen, who was called and who attended him, stated that he could find no disease; that it was decline of life from old age. A kind husband, an affectionate and loving father has gone to his reward.
Light be the turf of thy tomb;
May its verdure like emeralds be.
There should not be the shadow of gloom
In aught that reminds us of thee.
