I've already found most information on Orville but have not been able to find a cemetery transcription online for the Fir Cemetery in Monmouth. His Dc shows he was buried in the Knights of Pythias cemetery, which is now "Pythias circle" in the Fir cemetery. But there are about 40 Butlers buried there (as reported by the local caretakers) but I'd like to see a full list. Rootsweb for Polk county doesn't show one. <br><br>Is anyone familiar with the cemetery or know of a transcription?<br><br>Robyn Greenlund<br><br><br> <div class="MsoNormal" style=""><b><span style="font-size: 10pt;"></span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style=""></span>J</span><span style="font-size: 8pt;">OSEPH</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> B</span><span style="font-size: 8pt;">. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">V</span><span style="font-size: 8pt;">.</span><sup><span style="font-size: 10pt;">1</span></sup><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> B</span><span style="font-size:
