Bio
LDS Biographical Encyclopedia Thomas Butler Butler, Thomas, one of the missionaries of the Church who died away from home, was born May 9, 1851, at Little Pigeon, Pottawattamie, Iowa, the son of John Lowe Butler and Caroline Skeen. In May, 1883, he was set apart for a mission to the Eastern States by Apostle Wilford Woodruff, and returned Jan, 19, 1884. He again performed a mission to the States in 1885-1887. On the 3rd of November, 1890, he was set apart for a mission to the Southern States, and left for his field the next day. He was assigned to labor in Virginia, where he remained almost continually, laboring with good results until 1892. He made many warmhearted friends, and labored zealously for the cause of truth. Being released to return home on account of the effects of malarial fever, contracted while in the missionary field, he arrived in Salt Lake City April 4, 1892. The greater portion of the upper part of his body was covered with carbuncles, which for some reason would not heal, although he received the best of attention. At times his sufferings were intense, but the terrible affliction was borne with a fortitude characteristic of the man. Early in April blood poisoning set in, with fatal results. He died in Salt Lake City April 16, 1892, before he could arrive at his home in Richfield, Sevier county, Utah
