Hi Mona, Would there be a Manley Chambers or Clair Chambers in any of your Council Bluffs City Directories? Manley would have been there from about 1921 until about 1930? Clair would possibly have been listed from 1937 through maybe 1943 at the very latest. Thank You Constance

Hello, Thomas Hale Hooker and Lela Adaline Babcock Hooker are my direct line. His brothers were Chas J. which is really Joseph Charles Hooker and Paul Lester Hooker. City directories are a valuable tool but often have a lot of mistakes. If you are looking for information on Fred for around the 1925 time period I would suggest finding him on the 1925 census, for it will give his parents names.

The Christian Home is still an active agency in Council Bluffs. (I don't live in C.B. anymore, but visit often enough to know it is there.) I worked in the office as a high school student , about 1965. One of my duties was to microfilm the old records. I was fascinated by old files even then. I hope I did a good job. If no one disposed of those records the information is there. I don't know how accessible it is. Good luck.

He is listed in the 1850 Pottawattamie County, Iowa Mortality Records. He married Lydia Thornton and they had young children at the time of his death. He died in April of 1850 of unknown causes. Our understanding is he died at Kanesville (now Council Bluffs), Iowa. Edmond was only only 13 years old when his father died in 1835 in Kentucky. His brother, John Lowe Butler, who became a Mormon and was one of Joseph Smith's body guards, brought his wife and family, his mother, and his four youngest siblings to Nauvoo, Illinois. John became a wheelwright and Edmund a wagon maker. They were a great team and helped many of those traveling west. The two younger brothers James Morgan Butler and Lorenzo Dow Butler converted to the LDS Church also. James married Catherine McColl/McCole. She was a convert who had come down from Perth, Canada with her family. Lorenzo went on a mission for the church to England. He returned in September of 1848 with 350 converts including his new wife, Ann Binnall, and her family. John Lowe Butler's mother was Charity Lowe who married James Butler. Charity died 25 April 1851 in North Pigeon, Pottawatamie, Iowa, USA, at 69 years of age. Information we have states she was buried in North Pigeon. I need some help finding the burial places of Charity Lowe Butler and Edmond Ray Butler. If you know the location of their gravesites or have an idea where they may be, I would sure appreciate hearing from you. *************************************************************************** This is an automatically-generated notice.
