- WILLIAM B. BUTLER, who conducts the grocery establishment at No. 652 Richmond street, Appleton, is a product of the farm, having spent the time until he was thirty years of age in work on his father's property in Center township. Mr. Butler was born in Clyde, Sandusky county, Ohio, August 8, 1854, and is a son of Thomas and Mary (Dorsey) Butler, the former a native of the Emerald Isle, and the latter of the State of Vermont. Mr. Butler's father came to the United States as a young man, and first located in Ohio, where he was engaged in farming until 1858, and in that year brought his family to Outagamie county, Wisconsin, settling in Center township, where he carried on agricultural pursuits until his death, July 7, 1895. His first wife had died some years previously, leaving two children, and Mr. Butler had married, again, having thirteen children by this union. William B. Butler's education was secured in the public schools of Center township, and his boyhood and youth were spent much the same as the usual Outagamie farmer's son. At the age of thirty years he decided to give up tilling the soil, and subsequently found employment in machine shops in this section. He was careful with his earnings, and in 1894 he decided he had enough to embark in business on his own account, and his subsequent success testifies to the wisdom of his decision. His establishment, located at No. 652 Richmond street, is up-to-date in every way, and he has a full stock of staple and fancy groceries. His ability as a business man allows him to meet competition more than half way, and as a consequence his business has grown and is growing daily. On June 13, 1892, Mr. Butler was married to Ellen Calnin, of Center township, daughter of Patrick and Ellen (Barry) Calnin, pioneer farming people of Outagamie county, whence they came in 1848. Five children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Butler, namely: Marie, Myrtle, Catherine, Lyda and Thomas. The whole family is connected with the Catholic Church, attending with St. Mary's congregation in Appleton, and Mr. Butler is a member of the Catholic Knights and the Catholic Order of Foresters. He takes an interest in political matters, but does not find time to engage actively, and is bound by no party ties, his votes being cast independently.
