Columbia special in Charlotte
Observer 17th >ast: The fun|
eral of Gen. M. C. Butler, who
died Wednesday night in this
city, was held this morning in
$t. Peter's Catholic church at 10
o'clock. The church was filled
with the friends and relatives of
General Butler and his family.
The requiem mass was said by
Rev. B. W. Fleming. Bishop
Northrop, who came up from
' Charleston tor the funeral, read
the prayer for the dead, assisted
* * by Rev. T. J. Hegarty and Rev.
Mr. Hughes. The luneral ser
mon was preached by Father
Fleming, *lio had been with
General Butler frequently during
his last illness and who was
with him at the time ot hi^death.
He paid an eloqueut tribute to
General Butler's services as a
soldier and slaiesmau. and spoke
in affectionate terms ot him as a
man.
In his luneral sermon over
General Butler, the Rev. Father
Fleming gave this explanation
of how Ghneral Butler came to
change bis faith:
"When 1 went to instruct him
x-| in the teachings oi the Catholic
f I, Church I told him we began
/f everything with the Sign of the
? \ Cross, and asked him to repeat
4 'after me: "In (he name ot the
Father and ot the Son and of the
Holy Ghost. Amen.' He did
so with all the unction of his
great soul and body. I asked
him one day what hftd prompted
hiin to change his faith, and 1
say this with ail Kindness, intending
no hurt to your feelings,
my dear friends. He answered :
"The Little Sisters ol the Poor
first cLow my attention to the
Catholic Church. Their humble,
>?<ily lives,, leaving home and
hearth to minister to the outcast,
the homeless, the aged, the forgotten
o.%the world'."
After v\e services the body lay
in state in the church, the ceske
being covered with beautiful
spring flowers. The burial will
take place at Edgefield tomorrow
morning in the Butler family
graveyard. The iuterment services
will be conducted by Father
Fleming. A equa l irom Camp
Hampton and the pall-bearera
will assemble at the church to.
morrow morning at ti o'clock to
accompany the body to the train.
The funeral proces9iou this
morning from the home ot Dr.
LKnowlton to the church was
veiled by a military escort irom
v the Richland Volunteers under
the command of Capt. Joseph R.
Allen, and 9 squad from this
compauy will go to Sdgefield lor
the burial, which will be with
mjilitary honor*.
