    2. I have a picture of my gr. uncle, Ben Butterfield, and another young man inside one of the mines at Webb City. We've never been able to I.D. the other young man. Two of my other Butterfield uncles worked in those mines for a time. They died young of T.B., though not sure if it was contracted in the mines or not. I think Uncle Ben, who also died before age 40, may have died of T.B. as well. My mom, who was 90 last year, died in October, 2001, and she used to tell me about the uncles. My grandmother, Margaret Butterfield Davis, nursed them and Mom remembers this. The family lived near Rex's Crossing in Joplin, at the time. Margaret Rollins yoyo4233@aol.com
