John Butler and Mary Agnes Lerg married in a catholic service by a Father Duval on August 4, 1917 in the Church of the Sacred Heart in Nogales, Santa Cruz County, Arizona. They had four children. He was an Agent for Standard Oil. He subsequently became Town Clerk for the Municipal Light, Water, Streets, Sewers, etc. while living at 437 West Bill Williams Avenue (or West Route 66) in Williams, Coconino County, Arizona. They sold this property on January 1, 1962 and moved to 105 East Sherman Avenue in Williams. He passed away on December 17, 1965.
In her diary, my mother described her impression of her father, John Butler: “My father was a very quiet, kind, steady man. When I was little, I loved to crawl up on his legs while he was sitting down reading the paper. He would playfully switch positions to knock me off. We never really talked together; I just knew he would always be able to take care of whatever happened. He was my security. He smoked a pipe, and the aroma of the tobacco was comforting to me. I really savored the times I could see a twinkle in his Irish eyes. I am pleased when people say that I'm like my father.”

About me:I haven't shared any details about myself.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
