Mr. Griffin, whose sad death in being rescued from his burning
dwelling was chronicled in our last issue was one of the old and
very highly respected residents of Josephine county. He leaves a
wife and eight children, of whom one resides in Crescent City, one
near Medford and the remainder at their home on Rogue river near
Wilderville.
Medford Mail Tribune, April 19, 1901
A serious misfortune with accompanying results particularly sad
occurred to the family of Wm. Griffin, of Josephine County, who
formerly resided on Griffin creek, west of Medford, last Saturday.
The family were eating dinner when one of the daughters went outside
to the well for water and discovered the house on fire. She ran back
to the dining room and sounded the alarm, which proved so great a
shock to her aged father, who had not been in good health for some
time, that he collapsed completely and had to be carried from the
house. He was carried a short distance from the burning building and
the other members at once returned to carry out what things they
could from the rapidly burning house. They expected Mr. Griffin
would soon recover his composure after being carried out into the
fresh air, but it was soon found that the shock was greater than
anticipated, and while the building was still burning he died where
they had placed him when he was carried out. The house and all its
contents were entirely destroyed. As soon as possible the afflicted
family secured help from the nearest neighbors and the remains of
Mr. Griffin were taken to Grants Pass. They were brought to his old

DEATH OF A PIONEER WOMAN -- Mary Catherine Butler, wife of W. C.
Butler, of this precinct, died on Friday last at the home of her
sister, Mrs. Wm. Breeding, at Green Spring on the Linkville road.
She had been ill for a long time with a complication of diseases and
had gone up in the mountains in the hope of overcoming an attack of
malarial fever. The change failed to result in the benefits hoped
for, however, and her death followed from the effects of the fever
and disease of the heart. The funeral was on Saturday and the
earthly remains were consigned to their last resting place in
Ashland cemetery in the presence of the sorrowing family, neighbors
and friends.
Catharine Johnson was born in Brown county, Ohio, Feb. 14, 1887, and
came with her parents, John and Mary Johnson, to Southern Oregon in
1852, their home being a donation claim adjacent to that of James
Hamlin, near Jacksonville. She was married about 25 years ago, and
her husband and four children survive her. For more than twenty
years she had been a sufferer in consequence of injuries received by
a fall into a fireplace, and death came without terror. She died in
the full hope of realizing all that the faith of Christianity
promises to its true followers, and requested all her family and
friends to meet her beyond the pearly gates. The bereaved family
mourn the loss of a faithful wife and loving mother. [Note: William
C. Buter and Mary C. Johnson married 24 Sep 1863]

the "49" diggings and in the E. K. Anderson mine near Ashland. In
1870 he took up a homestead two and a half miles northeast of
Ashland, where he lived continuously until eight years ago, when he
removed to a place near Eagle Point, where he has made his home
since that time with his son, W. E. Butler.
Mr. Butler was married in 1864 to Mary C. Johnston (sic), to which
union eight children were born, three of whom survive: William E.
Butler, of Eagle Point; Mrs. G. R. Brown, of Taft, Calif., and John

BROTHER OF LOCAL MAN IS KILLED IN AUTO WRECK --
Wesley Butler, a farmer of the Eagle Point district was killed in an
auto accident on the Brownsboro road near the upper end of the Fred
Pelouze ranch about 9 o'clock yesterday morning, and William J. Cox,
age 21 years, whose home is in Clanton, Ala., sustained slight
injuries, when the Overland car Butler was driving overturned on a
curve. A defective steering knuckle was the cause of the accident.
Butler and Cox were en route to Eagle Point to saw wood when trouble
developed in the steering gear. Butler told Cox to stand on the
running board and watch the gear cog on the front axle. At a sharp
turn the car ran off the road and overturned. Cox leaped and saved
his life. Butler was pinned beneath the car, the running board
across his breast, crushing out his life. Cox endeavored to
extricate his companion, but failing, ran for assistance. Butler's
lifeless body was taken from beneath the auto by his father, William
E. Butler.
According to the coroner, the car was running at a fair rate of
speed when the accident occurred, and tracks in the road showed that
it had skidded several times before turning turtle.
William Wesley Butler was 27 years old and is survived by a wife and
child two years old. A brother, James F. Butler, resides in Ashland.
Another brother, John A. Butler, and a sister, Nellie Butler, live
on the home place. His father and mother are living.
News of the accident was received at Medford during the Wilbur Jacks
funeral services, and caused the spreading of the rumor throughout
the city of another shooting scrape in Eagle Point.

Died at Ashland
????? An old gentleman, Luther Olds by name, a victim of consumption
came to Ashland from Seattle about three weeks ago in the hopes of
checking the rapid progress of the fatal disease. He pitched a tent
on the bank of Ashland creek in the lower part of town and lived
there alone until it was discovered that he had grown too weak to
take care of himself. The matter having been reported to the
sanitary committee of the city council, Mr. Olds was moved to a room
in R.T. Baldwin's building on Granite street Monday, and was given
careful attention Wednesday evening he breathed his last and
yesterday morning his body was laid at rest in Ashland cemetery. Mr.
Olds was 74 years of age and leaves a wife and several children in
or near Seattle. He had means to pay his way, and carefully avoided
telling his family in his last correspondence how near he was to
death.
