Word was received here yesterday that
John E. Butson, of near Wilsonville had died Wednesday
from the effects of heart trouble. He leaves a wife and
six children to mourn his loss. He was a uncle of
Chester and Ben Tooze of Sherwood. Hollingsworth & Son
have charge of the funeral, which takes place today. We
were unable to ascertain further facts before going to
press. It is said Mr. Butson was a man who was well
liked by all who knew him.
