Surnames: Butler Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HKB.2ACI/2015 Message Board Post: In November 1887, Charles Edward Butler who may have been the Sheriff of Marshall County disappeared while in the process of transporting a prisoner from Kansas back to Holly Springs via rail. The final ticket on the Kansas City, Memphis & Birmingham RR was never picked up in Memphis for Mr. Charles Butler + one. The name of the prisoner is unknown. The ticket was charged to the Illinois Central RR. Mr Butler was never heard from again. There was nothing in the Memphis papers. We will be coming to Holly Springs next month to check old newspapers which may be on file at the Genealogy Society. If anybody has any info on thsi, it would be appreciated. Mr. Butler was my paternal GGGF. He was also the maternal GF of William Faulkner, the author. Thanks.
