world at large, and yet everyone
who has lived in this community at
any time during the last forty or fifty
years, knew Buttolph and respected
him, at least.
There are those in the village who

nicely dressed young man, unassum-

a good book to that Of his fellowmen.
Later he came to Wonewoc to work
in the wagon shops and here he has
since remained. He was a man Of
good moral character, who did not
seek, but still made many friends.
He supported himself for many years
chiefly with his gun and fishing rod,
together with what little money he
could pick up fixing sewing machines,
guns, and other mechanical work.
