Scope and Content Note: These materials are unfoldered and seem to be in no order. Box 10 also includes three folders. One folder contains several mementos: a typescript of paper, probably read before the Douglas County bar banquet, February 24, 1900 and before the state bar banquet, July 15, 1915; an obituary; two Civil War discharges; and a certificate of thanks issued by the President of the U.S., dated December 15, 1864 (presented by Mrs. Burr Jones). The second folder contains typed copies of two articles written by Butler for Mind in Nature, March 1885 and February 1887 (presented by Mrs. Grace Woodhead Zeiss).
