  • Notes 
    • Stonepics has both Rex and Lillian buried at NL014 -- somewhere in Baytona, Lewisporte, Birchy Bay, area.

      Alternate DOB 1902 Son of Eleazar and Susan Butler. Resided Pilley's Island, 1921.

      From a letter written by Blanche (Anstey) Rowsell to her son, Reginald Rowsell, in Sept 1930, it appears that Rex and Lillian lived in Deer Lake.
      "Bax stayed with Rex and Lill one night at Deer Lake. They are alright. Rex works in the company store there now. They have a little girl, but mother still has the little boy."

      From the recollection of Benjamin Rowsell, the children of Lilian and Rex Butler were:
      Neville (a Salvation Army officer who died)
      Grayson
      Graham
      Betty
      Violet?
