Louis Raymond Butler was the first child of Charles and Cora Butler, and the oldest brother of Jesse Llewellyn Butler (Lou's father). He was born 8 October 1891 in Lexington, Dawson County, Nebraska and died 8 January 1954. You can see the family group sheet here.

I have found some record that Ray (as he is called in family records) may have served in World War I. On this website Louis R. Butler is listed as drafted in August, 1917. His name is in Article 3, Serial Number 750, Order Number 436, with his address listed as Lexington.

This post is the first in a series introducing us to Lou's aunts and uncles - his parents' siblings. Although they are not in our direct family line, they are still family, and I want to "gather them in" with us. As always, please feel free to leave comments or email me with corrections or additional information.
