BUTLER CENTER CEMETERY

The Butler Center Cemetery is located in the Northeast one-fourth of section 18 of
Jefferson Township, three miles south of Allison and one mile east of Highway 14 on
county road C45.

This cemetery was a town cemetery for Butler Center. Its first burial was in 1865.
In 1870 it was under the jurisdiction of the Jefferson Township Trustees. At that time they
transferred a strip of land along the south edge of the cemetery to George M. Craig in
exchange for a strip along the western edge of the cemetery. 


Later the cemetery was transferred to the Butler Center Cemetery Association which was
incorporated in 1917. In 1938 it was verified that the land transferred in 1870 was now owned by Fred
Schrage.

In 1950 the Butler County Auditor was assigned as trustee for the small cemetery. In 1962 the
unused east half of the property owned by the Association was sold to the State Collage of Iowa (now
UNI) for use as a natural prairie reserve.

DEATH IN ALLISON We have
occasion this week to chronicle the
first death that has ever occured in
Allison. It was mentioned last week
that the little child of Mr. and Mrs.
Geo. M. Craig was dangerously sick
and the little one continued to grow
worse until Tue. night, when the
little spirit was wafted heavenward,
leaving the fond parents to moarn
the loss of that which was near and
dear to them. The funeral took place
at the residence yesterday afternoon
at 3 o'clock and the remains were
taken to Butler Center for internment.
The bereaved parents have the heartfelt
sympathy of the entire community in
their affliction.
