Butler family photos
I have these photos (mostly of my maternal grandmother's family) that I hope to identify with a date and subject. If you have corrections or additions for any information, please leave a
comment on this page or contact me directly at tgkohn@aol.com.
John Butler tombstone, St. Mary of the Lake, southeast of Waunakee WI. In 2001, this tombstone was nearly covered over with 6 inches of sod. I've been told the tombstone was replaced or reinstated afterward.
Unknown Butler grandmother and baby, perhaps 1950s.
Richard Butler home, 1.5 mi southwest of Waunakee WI. Richard built his home some time after he was deeded the land by his father in 1859. The home existed in 2001, set back about one quarter mile east from the paved road.
Richard Butler farm, about 4 mi west of Glasco KS.
11 Two children, about ages 2 years and 6 months. The card holder has "Schaeffer?" inscribed.
12a.
Boy age about 8 in white trousers, white shirt, black bow tie, and
holding a rosary and small book. Likely a first communion photograph.
12b. Boy about age 8 in white suit and white sailor cap, holding a white tube or rolled diploma. Likely the same photo session as 12a. The card photo holder is marked "The Reflex Studio Beloit."
13a.
Woman with bright eyes and tightly curled hair, wearing a black gown
with broad white collar and black satin bow, about age 22. The card
photo holder is marked "Evelyn Butler" with no other identification.
13b. Man with bright eyes and straight, thin hair, very faint moustache, wearing a woolen edge-trimmed three-piece suit, two-tone cravatte, and gold pocket watch on chain. The photo margin reads "Jean Honey, Art Studio, Beloit, Kans."

Not yet certain if the photo (right) or the text on the reverse (below)
holds genealogical information. Cousin Katie M. (a daughter of William Clark) says, "#14 I am sure is Dorothy Peterson, Gray."
Visible text below the photograph reads, "a former resident of Kansas City, Kansas, ...was announced today. ...married September 5 to Mr. Clarence Gray." Perhaps the photo is of Dorothy M Peterson (b. 1914.10.03), the daughter of Mary Forendo Clark (1893-1924) and Arthur Peterson and the grand daughter of Mary Ann Butler (1866-1939) and Ecles Leslie Joseph Clark (1868-1944).
The text on reverse lists members of several committees in the first story, announces the officiants of a Methodist church service in the second story, announces a meeting of the Bethany hospital guild in the third story, and announces a class meeting of the Central Christian church.
18a. Photo notation: "Harold Deneke, Joe Deneke son."
Harold R. Deneke (1920-1999) was born in the Beloit area and died in
Washington OR. His parents are Joseph F. Deneke (1884-1945 or 1957) and
Margaret E. Witt (estimated dates 1901-1975), who were married at St.
John's in Beloit and moved to Mt. Angel OR.

53. Photo notation: "Lizzie Pilcher" in left border,
"Anna Butler" in right border, and in bottom border "Agnes Clark, Mary
Clark, Kate Butler." Who is the photographer?
See details for Mary at photo 54a, Lizzie and Anna at photo 54b, and Kate in both 54a and 54b.
Agnes—Thresa Agnes—Clark (1900-1988) seems to be about age 12. Her age roughly corroborates the dating of photo 54a, which has many similarities in matting and color. Agnes married William Richard Prochaska (1897-1992) in the Glasco area on 1919.11.26. They lived in Cloud county and raised a family of four children: Harold William Prochaska (1920-2001), Maxine Marie Prochaska (1922-1924), Max Prochaska (1926-), and Neal Prochaska (1928-).
54a. Photo notation, on front border: "Aunt Kate Bulter, Clarks from Glasco." Who is the photographer?
54b. Photo notation, on back: "Kate, Lizzie, Anna Butler." Who is the photographer?
Kate—full name Catherine B.—Butler (1870-1952) was the fifth child of Richard and Mary Ellen Butler. Kate was a Glasco teacher, postmaster, and housekeeper for the Catholic priest. She was born on the farm near Waunakee WI, moved with her parents to their farm west of Glasco, and lived in town and in Delphos KS when she became self-sufficient. By 1947 at age 77, she lived in Concordia.
The "Clarks from Glasco" must have included my mother's aunt Mary Ann Butler (1866-1939), her husband Ecles Leslie Joseph Clark (1868-1944), and several of their children: Mary Forendo Clark (1893-1924), William Richard Clark (1895-1967), Joseph Henry Clark (1897-1977), Thomas Francis Clark (1899-1965), Thresa Agnes Clark (1900-1988), Catherine Gertrude Clark (1903-1995), Margaret Ellen Clark (1906-1980?), and Julia Frances Clark (1908-1988). The photo includes Aunt Kate (back left), four women beside her in the back row, two young girls (middle row), and two boys (foreground). If Ecles Clark is the photographer, the full Clark family is missing one son. The youngest child appears to be about 7 years old, which might date the photo in 1915.
Lizzie—Elizabeth Gertrude—Butler (1885-1957) was the youngest child of Richard and Mary Ellen Butler. She married Hal Pilcher (1882-1953) on 1905.10.02 and had 15 children, of whom at least 3 died in infancy. and she raised the family in or near Delphos KS.
Anna—Anastasia L.—Butler (1875-1933) was the seventh child of Richard and Mary Ellen Butler. Anna was born on the farm near Waunakee WI, moved with her parents to their farm west of Glasco, and married Henry Deneke in Glasco KS on 1908.10.07.
