DR. JEROME F. BUTTERFIELD
The late Dr. Jerome F. Butterfield
was a successful veterinarian of Montrose, Pennsylvania, prior to coming to
Riverside, California, where he engaged in orange growing. He was born on June 11, 1846, in Ridgewater Township, a son of B. Alanson and Julia (Stone)
Butterfield, and in the acquirement of an education he attended the schools of
Montrose. Dr. Butterfield continued
active in the profession of veterinarian in the Keystone state until 1911, when
he crossed the continent to Riverside, California, and turned his attention to
orange growing. Here he died June 1,
1928, at the advanced age of eighty-two years, his remains being interred in
Olivewood Cemetery of Riverside. His
passing was the occasion of deep and widespread regret, for he had won an extensive
circle of warm friends in the varied relations of life. He was long an active worker in the
Presbyterian Church.
In Centre County, Pennsylvania, Dr.
Butterfield was united in marriage to Juliet McKean, daughter of Thomas and
Juliet (Miller) McKean, of Elmira, New York.
Three children were born to them, namely: Homer, who married Edith Rose, of Cincinnati,
Ohio; Alice, librarian in the Junior High School library at Los Angeles; and
Mark, who married Dorothy Sias and has a son,
Jerome. Dr. Butterfield is also survived
by his widow, who makes her home at 5177 Brockton Avenue in Riverside.
