Butler, M. D. Edward F. (21 September 1875 - 19??)

EDWARD F. BUTLER. M. D., physician and surgeon at Mosinee, was born at Parnell, Sheboygan Co., Wis., September 21, 1875, a son of Michael and Ellen (Brown) Butler. The father of Dr. Butler was born in Ireland and farming has been his business through life. The mother was born in the state of New York. They have the following children: James, Charles, Sarah, Mary, Thomas, Anna, Margaret, Catherine, Michael, Benjamin, Edward F., Josephine and Joseph.  

Edward F. Butler was reared on the home farm and attended the public schools of Sheboygan Co. and from them entered upon a higher course at Valparaiso, Ind., where he was graduated in 1902. When prepared to enter a medical college he chose the Chicago College of Medicine, where he was graduated and afterward was attached for one year to St. Joseph's Hospital, Chicago, and engaged in practice in that city for four years before coming to Mosinee in 1910. He belongs to various medical organizations and keeps thoroughly abreast with modern research in his practice, giving his patients not only the results of his years of study and experience but also the personal interest that frequently largely supplements drugs.  

On September 11, 1912, Dr. Butler was married to Miss Catherine O'Connor, a daughter of Edward and Mary (Schmidt) O'Connor; who was the third born in her parents' family, the others being: Marie, Thomas, Anna, Myrtle, William, Ella, Alice, John and Grace. Dr. and Mrs. Butler are members of the Catholic Church. He is identified with the Knights of Columbus, belonging to the council at Valparaiso, Ind.
