The History of Scotts Hill, Tennessee, Gordon H. Turner, Sr., (Carter Printing Company, Southaven, Mississippi, 1977). Rural Free Delivery ("RFD") service began out of Scotts Hill on Aug. 15, 1904. The very first carriers were John H. Fanning and Elbert E. Butler who, after a few years, resigned and moved to Lexington to become prominent businessmen. CROSSING THE DARK RIVER, Henderson County, Tennessee, Obituaries 1827-1950, Brenda Kirk Fiddler, Lexington, Tennessee 1999, page 520 (The Lexington Progress, December 7, 1945) Elbert Eldest Butler, son of the late W. W. Butler and Martha Stanfill Butler, was born September 17, 1878, in Henderson County, and died at his home in Lexington on November 30, 1945, aged 67 years. His death followed an illness of about eight years. He is survived by his wife, Ida Belle Davenport Butler, and four children: Mrs. Lloyd Montgomery and Holmes Butler of Lexington, Mrs. Williard Richardson of Washington D. C., and Woodrow Butler of the U. S. Army. He was preceded in death by a son, Elbert Gerald, and a daughter, Allene. When a young man he finished a scientific course at Scotts Hill College, and was teaching school at the time of his marriage. Afterwards he became a rural mail carrier and later entered the grocery business in Lexington and continued in this business for 25 years. He is remembered for his honesty in business affairs. He was a member of the Church of Christ for over 35 years. Joe Cook VanDyke officiated at the funeral services with burial in Lexington Cemetery. February 27, 1914 (Progress) Applicants for Fourth Class Post Offices Undergo Examination Last Tuesday in the Circuit courtroom, Special Examiner J.C. Allison, of Washington, D.C., conducted the previously advertised examination of applicants for Fourth Class post offices. The applicants taking the examination: Huron - William B. Evans, William M.

In the 1900 census, Elbert Butler appears to be recorded twice - once in his father's household and once in the household of Albert Goff. Elbert's future bride is living in the household of Albert Goff's brother in law. |
