Henry Thomas Butler 1842-1881.
Transcribed by Michael Purcell, July 2010.
Carlow Sentinel.
24th
December 1881.
Death of Lieut-Colonel Butler.
With deep
regret we announce the death of Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Thomas
Butler, which occurred rather suddenly on the 16th December 1881, at
his London residence, 66, Princess Gate, after three days' illness of
inflammation of the lungs.
This
lamented gentleman, who had attained his 39th year, was only son of
Thomas Butler, Esquire, and first cousin of Sir Thomas Pierce Butler,
Bart., D.L., of Ballintemple, Carlow.
About the
year 1860 he was gazetted to an Ensigncy in the 58th Regiment. He was
promoted to a Lieutenancy in the 4th Hussars, and subsequently to a
Captaincy in the 13th Hussars, which Regiment he served several years
in India, and was Colonel Commanding when the state of his health
rendered necessary his retirement, on half pay, in 1879.
Immediately
on his return from India he came to Carlow, and as the general
election was then approaching he offered himself as candidate on the
Conservative side, and was warmly accepted and heartily supported by
his party, as evidenced by the fact that he was only defeated by the
narrow majority of twelve votes.
During his
brief stay in this locality he made many friends, by whom, as well as
by a very wide circle of relatives, brother officers, and
acquaintances, his unexpected death is deeply and deservedly
regretted.
