Some History of The Butler Cemetery

With Thanks to an Unknown family who turned in this valuable historic information.

If you know who turned this information in could you please let us know so that we can thank the family properly here!

Historical Burials Documentation (Recent permissions have allowed us to present this information. We hope to show more soon.)

At the moment the only history that we have on this cemetery are the documents turned in by a family with the kindness to foresee that future generations should be able to interpret these historic papers. We know that many of these are being allowed to sit and rot away by people who refuse to turn them in to Chatham-Kent due to hard feelings in regards to amalgamation. However, if these historic papers are lost we only harm the future citizens of the County of Kent!

Further Photographic Information is coming in the near future with proper scans of these documents. For now these will give you an idea what is coming.
