I looked up several Butler DCs and then did research on them. All of these folks are new to me, so I am trying to fit them together. I put my info. and thoughts and questions in with the DC. Forgive me for thinking it out with my fingers. Comments and additions are welcome.

Butler, James B 1871 - 1947 Butler, Hattie P. 1873 - 1933 Could the very difficult to read name for mother be Martha? If so, I think these could be her parents and siblings, but not sure.
