David Simeon "Simmie" Butner was born March 10, 1878, in Coffee County, Tennessee, and died on March 26, 1924, in Franklin, Williamson County, Tennessee. He is buried in Mt. Hope Cemetery. He married Susan Jolley on April 21, 1901 in Maury County, Tennessee. In 1910 David S. Butner, age 32, a shoe maker, was living at 616-15th St., in Birmingham, Jefferson County, Alabama, with his wife Susie, also age 32. By 1920 they are in Franklin, Tennessee; and Simmie Butner is shown with no occupation, presumably because of the tuberculosis that eventually killed him. Sources: |
