Andrew and Lena had 10 children:
• Alfred H. Butler (1865-) – married Josephine E. Harper
• Flora Belle Butler (1867-1946) – married Isaac T. Murphy and Fred W. Lawton
• Jacob L. Butler (1869-
• Minnie C. Butler (1871-1963) – married Clarence W. Bennett and Isaac F. Stanley
• George W. Butler (1874-1942) – married Caroline E. Hall and Myra Farrell
• William Lawton Butler (1877-1943) – married Alice M. Campbell and Rose E. Campbell
• Annie May Butler (1878-1966) – married Ansel Lyman Harper
• Chester Arthur Butler (1881-1967) – married Jane Anne Ober
• Herbert G. Butler (1883-1942) – married Kathrine A. Hooper
• Mildred G. Butler (1887-1969) – married George H. Freeman and Merrill L. Seavey
Andrew Butler also moved away [from Bartlett’s Island]. Things had not been easy for him since the Civil War. He had never completely regained his health and could not do hard labor the rest of his life. He and his German wife, Lena, had nine children to raise…”
The health of Lena Butler had also failed and the doctor recommended she move south. So the family left the island they loved and moved to Florida where Andrew took up a Spanish land grant. It is recalled by his grandchildren that the trip took one week. In Florida the older boys found work. They did well; another child was born, and the oldest daughter was married. When Lena’s health had improved, all but the married daughter moved back to the place they loved – this time living in Center [Maine, on Mt. Desert Island.] Andrew and Lena Butler are fondly remembered. He was very good-natured, short little man with a beard. He is also remembered for his “good” sauerkraut, she for her hog’s head cheese.
Lena was especially accomplished at handiwork. “If a lady needed a new hat, she would come to help her make it.” She also crocheted and knitted bedspreads for “summer people.” Even then she was paid $75 for one of her handmade spreads”
