Wednesday, 26 September, 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries
Partly cloudy. I ironed and did most of the mending. Went to prayer meeting at night. Finished church drapes. Roger Butler electrocuted
.
Comment: Does anybody do "mending" anymore??...I don't remember Roger Butler but he is buried in the Breakabeen Cemetery: The record reads, "Butler, Roger, Section II, Lot 50, Grave 1. Born 1939, died 1962. He lived in Fulton, Schoharie county, New York. He was 23 years old. I can find on the internet no further records of his life....

From Ruth Haskins: Roger was married to Marianne Bozzi. Not sure that is the correct spelling of her last name. They had a son, Roger Jr. Not sure if there were anymore children by Roger or not. After Roger died, Marianne married Rogers' brother. I believe his name was Chuck.
From LaVerne: Roger Butler lived on Rt 30 at the intersection of West Fulton road. Wind storm caused a tree limb to fall taking down the power line on his yard. He tried to move the line and was electrocuted.
A fellow named Pete Stannard was with him at the time, after the incident Roger curley was straight as a string
My husband Jim knew Roger and said his wedding band was the catalyst for the electrocution. He went to swat the tree away from the electric wires.
