"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 58, No 41, p 647, Oct. 13, 1902.
The newspapers of the past week bring the sad news of the death of Mrs. Mary F. Butts, with whose writings most of our readers are familiar. She was a native of Rhode Island, and in early life a Seventh-day Baptist, and for many years connected with the church and society at Westerly. Her death occurred at Bristol, Vermont, near which place she had made her home for some time.
Her early literary work was done in the vicinity of Westerly, and her poems appeared from time to time in the local papers. She later became a valued contributor to most of the leading periodicals of the day. While there was nothing startling in her work, nothing that was particularly new or told in a new way, her verse as well as her stories for children always appealed to the hearts of her readers, and will be remembered long after others are forgotten.
