the average statue of women, and in
the fun fruition of young woman

commanding presence. Her large

which the lines of strength and
beauty were blended. Above all she

The subject Of this sketch, Mrs
Julia G. Butler nee Miss Julia c.
Irwin, died at her residence in Cobb
County, near Marietta, Georgia, on
the 18th day of June 1913. in the
seventy-tfth year of her age
She was the devoted daughter of
her distinguished father, Judge Dav-
id Irwin, the author of " Twins
Code" and for many years the able
Judge of the Superior Courts of the
Blue Ridge Circuit
In 1860 she married Major Green
Lee Butler, a gifted and accomplish
ed gentleman who died during the
late war, in Southwestern Georgia,
and after tenderly laying him away
she passed through the lines Of
Sherman's army, then occupying
Georgia, and rejoined her family,
who were sojourning in Washington,
Georgia. Her marriage was not

the period of her young girlhood

friendship, which continued with

her death.
1t is not too much to say that her
life and character not only impress

thread of her influence was closely

life and destiny, and his highest
and best ideals were found in the
inspiration derived from compan-
ionship with this superb woman.

her shrine did he not with SORROW

there, how inadequate soeyer the

Mrs. Butler was one of Georgia =
loyliest and most gifted women. and
her death is not only great be-

deploring the sad extinction Of her
noble life--a life distinguished by
self abnegation and unselfish devo-

constantly employed in the welfare
and happiness Of others, and it is
the universal recognition Of this
fact which brings much compensa-
