He died in the home of his daughter, Mrs. S. A. Mateer, 609 Exchange Street.

    John Butler's Mason record lists him as being born in Brooklyn, New York. He became affiliated with Matteson Lodge in Joliet, Illinois on 3 December 1867 after taking his degrees in Niagara Lodge No. 375, Lockport, New York.
