<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Mr. Butler engaged in farming until 1908,
when the family moved to Indianola, Iowa, in order that the children might have
the advantages of a college education.
At Indianola Mr. Butler engaged in the feed and grain business until the
death of the wife and mother in July 1929.
Since that time he has resided in Caldwell, Idaho and at Ames, and has
also spent much time in the companionship of his brothers and sisters who
reside in the vicinity of the old home.
He is survived by five brothers and three sisters, Elmer Butler, Lafe
Butler, Charles Butler, and Asa Butler, of Seymour, Iowa; Jesse Butler, Des
Moines; Mrs Belinda Willis of Seymour; Mrs. Emma Hiatt of Centerville, and Mrs.
Verna Johnson of Silvis, Ill.; also other relatives and a host of friends, for

was for many years a member of the church at Seymour and at the time of his
death he was a member of First Church at Ames.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> To his children father was kind,
unpretentious, sincere and a constant living example of the principles which he
strove to instill into their lives. To
his friends he was true, a good man, always recognized as a trustworthy citizen
and of Chistian character.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> During the past few years he has been in
failing health, but he always remained courageous and uncomplaining. He was seriously ill for five weeks at the
home of his son Lee at Ames, where he received the kindly ministration of the
members of the family and many friends who had known of his illness. On Tuesday evening June 26, he slipped
quietly to the great beyond, to meet mother who was waiting him there, and in
turn to await those who today pause to remember and pay their respects to a
loving father, a faithful brother and a true friend.</span></div>

readiness to pass on into His immediate presence at His will. After two patient years the call came and she
slipped quietly away with the family and a friend at her bedside, Nov. 11,

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Andrew Kershaw was born in Oldham, England,
February 11, 1847 and passed away at his late home in Seymour, Iowa, August 9,
1928, at the age of 81 years, 5 months, and 25 days.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> He accompanied by his parents, emigrated to
the United States in 1850 and located six miles from Philadelphia, Penn. Ten years later his family came west and
established a home in Johnson county, Iowa.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> In his early youth he felt called to the
ministry, and entered the State University of Iowa to fit himself for the
sacred and arduous responsibilities of that high calling. He was admitted on trial in the Iowa
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church on September, 1874. In 1883 he transferred to the Nebraska Conference
and served within its bound for five years.
He transferred to the Puget Sound Conference and served two years. The
he labored twelve years in the Oregon Conference. At the time of his death, he had been an
honored member of the Montana Conference for twenty-seven years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Brother Kershaw was a man of many parts. His mind was unusually alert and well stored
with general and useful knowledge, but especially with the precious truth of
the blessed Gospel. His command of the promises of God was quite
wonderful. He was a workman that need
not be ashamed for he could rightly divide the word of truth. His retirement from the active ministry did
not end his interest in the welfare of souls, for he sought opportunities to
preach and teach the Word, and his efforts were signally blessed of God. He was exceptionally gifted in prayer. He was a good minister of Jesus Christ.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> He was united in marriage to Mary Sidles at
Jerome, Iowa, September 7, 1880. There
was one child born to this union, Charles Paul Kershaw of Streator,
Illinois. After the delightful
fellowship and self-sacrificing labor together in the Master’s vineyard
extending over a period of fifteen years, he experienced the great sorrow of
parting with his beloved helpmate who had shared with him the trials and poys
of the Gospel ministry. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> On December 18, 1898 he was married to Sarah
E. Morrison, and who for thirty years was a loyal yoke fellow with him in every
field of labor to which he as assigned.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The deceased removed from the West in the
fall of 1926 and established his home in Seymour. At the outset he took an active part in the
work of the church. He was especially
attentive to the Sunday School and the prayer meeting until failing health
forced him to discontinue his activities.
About three months ago he was the victim of two or three light strokes. His powers and faculties gradually waned
until he went peacefully asleep to awake in the presence of the Master he so
cheerfully and faithfully served.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> He is survived by his bereaved wife; his son,
Paul, three grandsons and two granddaughters. There are also two brothers, Ralph Kershaw of
Oklahome; Ben Kershaw of Nebraska, and one sister, Mrs. Anna Williams of
Colorado.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Funeral services were conducted from the
Methodist Church Sunday morning by the Rev. D. J. McKay assisted by Rev. J. A.
Wilson, pastor of the Methodist Church, Mystic, Iowa. Interment was in the Jerome cemetery.</span></div>
