History of Grundy County IL 1914
Butterfield, Mrs. Matilda (Allen) - This is the age when women are coming to the front and demonstrating that they are fully competent to manage large affairs for themselves. Possessing habits of thrift and industry as many of them do, they make their work count for something and as the heads of business concerns prosper in a remarkable degree.
One of the leading factors in the business life of Morris, Ill., is Mrs. Matilda (Allen) (Humble) Butterfield, a woman of more than ordinary strength of character, who in spite of many adverses has steadily risen and is now owner of valuable property and a large and flourishing grocery store.
Mrs. Butterfield was born in Berkshire, England, September 19, 1833, and in 1855 started for the United States with Grundy County as her objective point. On the trip over she met on board ship and later married William Humble. Her second marriage was to Dr. E. T. Maunders, and a few years after his death she married Joseph D. Butterfield.
Mrs. Butterfield has never spared herself but has labored long and earnestly to acquire property. Her savings have been carefully invested and when she had enough, put it into real estate. She purchased the business block on Liberty street, Morris, where she conducts a general grocery store. Although a woman of advanced years she is as capable as ever, and looks after her own affairs.
Her prosperity is all the more remarkable as when she came to Morris she had nothing and all she has she earned herself. There is no one more highly respected in Grundy County than this capable, reliable and honest woman, who had made her own way in the world.
