Death of DR.. Elliott Pyle.

In the death of DR.. Elliott Pyle,
at his late residence in this city,
Friday evening at a little after 9
| clock p. m, the city of Butler sus-
tanned the loss of one of its Oldest
and most substantial citizens and
business men.
The DR.. had been sick for several
weeks and short time after being
stricken down hopes of his recovery
faded away. The doctor himself
realized the fact that his recovery
was impossible and in due time
called in intimate friends to arrange
his business affairs for him, and to
prepare and witness the disposition
by will of his property.
He came to Butler in an early day
and engaged in the drug business
and practice of medicine. He was
attentive to business, and succeeded
in accumulating considerable prop
erty.
He was a very positive man and
his clear judgment and business
sagacity was sought in all enter
prlses which the city was under
taking, and in his death the town in
this respect loses one Of its ablest
and most conservative advisers.
He had been twice married, his
first wife dying some six or seven
years ago. By this marriage three
children, all grown, are left, being
Will E. Pyle, Mrs. Dan &. Walker,
of this city, and Mrs. A. E. Blachert,
of Kansas City. His second MARI
age, about two years ago, was to
Miss Anna Walker, a daughter of
the late Rev. Alexander Walker,
pastor of the Presbyterian church.
To this union baby daughter was
born.
The funeral services took place
from the family residence Sunday
afternoon conducted by the Masonic
order, and the body was laid to rest
in Oak Hill cemetery.
