* Annie Maude Butler +1968
* "Miss Daisy" Butler '''+1895'''-1970 (1878-1970)
** T&T 1970 Dec: "On Oct. 14th, 1970, our beloved sister, Miss Daisy Butler lovingly called by all who knew her (Miss Daisy) age 92, passed into the presence of the Lord. She was saved in her teens in tent meetings held by Bre. Alex Lamb and [[William Beveridge]]. A year or so later, a Gospel Hall was built. She took her place in the assembly and for seventy years never failed in attendance. She was very active until the last few months before her passing. Her life's work was behind the scenes and it was never her desire to be in the spotlight. No doubt her reward will be great. John W. McEwen and Samuel Ellison shared the funeral."
* Sarah Jane Butler Bailey +1968 (d. 1968) m. Henry L. Bailey
