DEATH OF MYRON BUTMAN
PROMINENT RESIDENT OF SAGINAW SINCE 1855---HAD LARGE
INTERESTS IN GLADWIN COUNTY.
Myron Butman, a prominent resident and one of
Saginaw's earliest citizens, died at his residence in
that city at 12:30 a.m., Jan. 10, as the immediate
result of an attack of pneumonia, from which he had
been seriously ill but a few days, although his
general health had been poor for the last few years.
Mr. Butman was well known in Gladwin county, where he
had large business interests, having conducted
extensive logging operations here in years gone by.
The greater part of his business here was in
partnership with the late Amasa Rust. He was also
associated in business with Samuel H. Webster and
James Hay, of Saginaw, now deceased, and for a number
of years was president of the Bank of Saginaw. Mr.
Butman and the gentleman named stood as towers of
strength and honor in the business world.
As the active member of the firm of Butman & Rust,
Mr. Butman was best known in this county, and was held
in high esteem by the many with whom the firm had
business relations. In him Gladwin county loses a
friend who was always ready to help advance its
interests by word and deed.
Butman township and the postoffice at Butman, this
county, were named in his honor. The "Butman farm", in
Gladwin township, now owned by W. B. Spike, one of the
finest farms in the county, was planned under his
supervision.
Mr. Butman was born in Milan, O., October 5, 1826,
and was educated at Hurson Institute, Erie county, O.
In 1854 he went to Chicago, and in 1855 to Saginaw,
which has since been his home. He was married at
Bloomfield, N. Y., in 1847, to Mary Pauline Adams, who
survives him, as does also their only daughter, Mrs.
W. S. Fish. Mr. Butman was a member of Saginaw lodge
No. 154, F. & A.M., and for 30 years served as
vestryman of St. John's Episcopal church at Saginaw.
The funeral services were according to the burial
service of the Episcopal church..
