Surnames: BUTTON, SANFORD Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/BZB.2ACI/779 Message Board Post: George W. BUTTON was a resident of Leroy and Painesville, OH prior to moving to Michigan. I think his father was Amos BUTTON. Does anyone know more about him -his wife's and children's names? Is there an obituary for him in the March 15th 1900 Painesville Telegraph pg 3? I received this one but there may be another. Death notice: Painesville Telegraph 14 Mar 1900 pg 5 col 1: "Captain George W. BUTTON, a former resident of Painesville, and father of Mrs. J. Page JONES, of Jackson street, died in Saginaw, Michigan, March 3, at the age of seventy-eight years". ----end----- [Community Information Display; Type of Record: Individual; Death Date: March 03, 1900 Name Button, George W., Capt; Subject Obituary; Last residence: LeRoy Ohio.
