BUTLER, Miss Clementina
<span>Evangelist Clementina Butler was born in Bareilly, India on January 7, 1862. The daughter of Methodist Episcopal minister and evangelist Rev. William Butler and evangelist Clementina Rowe Butler, Clementina moved quite often during her childhood. After leaving India, the Butlers moved to Mexico City, Mexico. They returned to Newton Center, MA in 1866.</span><br /><br /><span>Not surprisingly, Clementina became an evangelist, too. In addition to founding the Committee on Christian Literature for Women and Children in Mission Fields, she was a member of the American Ramabi Association and the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society.</span><br /><br /><span>After her father's death, Clementina wrote </span><a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uva.x030040536;view=1up;seq=9" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>William Butler The Founder of Two Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church. By His Daughter,</em> </a><span> which was published in 1902.</span><br /><br /><span>Clementina moved to Providence, RI in January of 1916 and soon embarked on missionary trips to Cuba, Panama, and Mexico for conferences and missionary work.</span><br /><br /><span>After Ramabi's death in 1922, Clementina, who was Chairman of the Executive Committee of the American Ramabi Association, wrote </span><em><a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=coo1.ark:/13960/t8jd5fp3s;view=1up;seq=7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pandita Ramabai Sarasvati; Pioneer in the Movement for the Education of the Child-widow of India</a>.</em><br /><br /><span>While living at 84 Sycamore Avenue in West Barrington, RI in March of 1932, seventy-year-old Clementina took a trip to Bombay, India. </span><br /><br /><span>In 1934, she traveled to Maryland to give talks about her work. On April 13, <em>The</em> </span><em>Midland Journal</em><span> of Rising Sun MD </span><a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn89060136/1934-04-13/ed-1/seq-1/#date1=1789&sort=date&rows=20&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&index=10&words=Butler+Clementina&proxdistance=5&date2=1949&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Clementina+Butler&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">discussed</a><span> her recent talk at the Methodist Episcopal church. Speaking about Clementina, it noted: "Miss Butler is a forceful speaker and her extensive travel and knowledge of affairs enable her to give facts in an interesting manner. Her recent work has been in Mexico."</span><br /><br /><span>Clementina's mother was one of the founders of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Boston's </span><a href="http://www.gcah.org/research/travelers-guide/site-of-the-founding-of-the-womans-foreign-missionary-society-of-the-method" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tremont Street Methodist Episcopal Church </a><span>in 1869. During the 1940s, Clementina paid for new windows at the church to honor the founders and the first two missionaries.</span><br /><br /><span>She passed away on December 5, 1949, and was buried near her parents in Newton Cemetery in Newton, MA.</span>

POST, Mrs. Caroline Lathrop
<span>Caroline Lathrop Post was born in Ashford, Connecticut, on November 27, 1824, and began her writing career at an early age. Her family later moved to Hartford, Connecticut, and Pittsfield, Massachusetts.</span><br /><br /><span>She married Abner L. Parsons on March 27, 1844, and gave birth to Clarence Lathrop Parsons, but she lost both her husband and her young son in 1849. After returning to her family in Hartford, Carrie moved to Springfield, Illinois, in 1851 and met Charles Rollin Post, a friend of her brother's. She returned to Hartford the next year and continued to correspond with Charles. They were married on October 10, 1853, and resided in Springfield (</span><a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015003510289;view=1up;seq=320" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Major, 286</a><span>). Over time, Caroline gave birth to Charles William, Aurelian, and Carroll. She and her family were members of the First Congregational Church. When the boys were growing up, Carrie "guided her boys in the arts, music, and literature" (Major, 290). She also found time to contribute to several publications, including </span><em>Chicago Advance</em><span>, </span><em>Life and Light</em><span>, </span><em>Golden Rule</em><span>, and </span><em>Floral World.</em><br /><br /><span>In 1886, Caroline's family moved to Fort Worth, Texas.

Since his parents were devoted churchgoers and needed a new church, C.W. donated the money for the First Congregational Church of Fort Worth in 1903 (Major, 292). That same year, Charles Rollin and Caroline celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary, a milestone that was </span><a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mmet.ark:/13960/t7tm8vz66;view=1up;seq=129;size=200" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mentioned</a><span> in Margaret E. Sangster's "Around the Hearth" page in </span><em>The Christian Herald</em><span>.</span><br /><br /><span>When he was ill in 1914, C.W. committed suicide. In his eulogy, C.W.'s cousin, Rev. Roswell C. Post, paid tribute to </span><a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015071135225;view=1up;seq=28;size=125" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carrie</a><span> and Rollin, as well as to Charlie.

A few months later, on October 17, 1914, Carrie passed away in Fort Worth. She was buried in Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield, Illinois.</span>
