More Death Certificates from the microfilmed records of the originals,
located at the Camden Archives and Museum, Camden, SC

1925 - Death Cert. #2370 Greenwood, SC
Minnie Lee Butler
Female, White, single
b. April 3, 1903, SC
father: Ned Butler, SC
mother: Ann Hastings, SC
d. Feb. 3, 1925, South Greenwood (city & twp), Greenwood Co, SC
cause: post typhoidal (toxemia); typhoid fever
informant: Ned Butler, South Greenwood, SC
buried: Greenwood, SC, Feb 4, 1925
UT: H. B. Ellis, Greenwood Co, SC

I found two Minnie Lee Butlers in the cemetery records, one with no dates
but they are buried in Saluda Co. cemeteries: Good Hope and Henry Butler
Family Cem. Don't know where in Greenwood this Minnie Lee is buried. Not
in the few Greenwood Cem. records that I have. Maybe the new Greenwood Cem.
book will tell us when it finally comes out. Of course she does not show up
in census records with Ned and Ann Hastings Butler.

Does anyone have Ned Butler's Death cert. d. 1936? If so, please send and I
won't have to look him up. I have two Ned Butlers born about the same time,
one with wife [from the above DC] and another as son of James Pinkney and
Nannie Waits [census records]. I think I can merge them, but not sure.

I am not able to find him in census records after 1900 Greenwood Co, SC,
Brooks twp, p. 349A, hh#28/28, with parents, age 12.

CENSUS: 1900 Greenwood Co, SC, Brooks twp, p. 349A, hh#28/28

1918 - Death Cert. #22428, Newberry Co, SC
Herman (Bowers) Butler
Male, White, child
b. April 10, 1918, age 6 mo, 3 days, Newberry Co., SC
father: J. (C) Butler, Newberry Co, SC
mother: Belle Bowers, Newberry Co, SC
d. Oct 13. 1918
cause: broncial pneumonia following influenza
informant: (O/An) E. (Dawhux), Prosperity, SC
buried: St. Lukes, Oct 14, 1918
UT. Eva Counts, Prosperity, SC

Middle name hard to read, but one of the choices I came up with was Bowers.
Since that is his mother's name, I figured that was what it said. The
informant is anyone's guess. Archives has some Newberry Co. records, so I
will see if Herman is listed and St. Luke's is identified.

cause: old age

Chestnut Hill Baptist Church Cem., Saluda Co, SC gives her dates and
identifies here as wife of Henry L. and mother of Pauline and Henrietta.
Need to check census records to prove those connections and I have not done
that yet.
Griffith, Henry L. Jan 10 1824 - May 13 1908
Griffith, Martha C. Nov 15 1834 - Oct 26 1919
Griffith, Pauline [Aug 1874] - Dec 28 1935
Griffith, Henrietta [(Etta)] [Mar 1873] - Jul 30 1956

Does anyone know her parents?
