Those are fantasic leads thank you, I feel much better now knowing where to start. I had put out a request of info about the burials of John H. Butt and Pearl on the Facebook group "Cabri Herald" a while back in hopes someone would know or photograph the grave location for me. Someone DID get back to me, a lady who said she helps run the cemetery. While the Butts dont have a grave stone, their names are included on a large stone that is full of names of those without headstones. I did ask if she could look at the burial files of the Butts for more information on dates etc. She informed me that such info is limited. I never heard back from her. So my next step as you say is to call the town of Cabri and ask them to look into the files and with that hope to find an obituary. As you say I will indeed presume the Butts married in Saskatchewan and will look into that further.

As for John H. Butt I was thinking and hoping that maybe he would show up in a census record? maybe giving the head of household etc? I know census cant always be relied upon.

Another story that intrigues me is the story of the Butts son, George Butt who was in a foster home in Weyburn and died in "the great blizzard" of 1952 when he went out to get a pail of water. It makes sense that he would be living in a foster home by 1952 since both his parents had died already (1937 and 1947). Would love to find a news story or obituary concerning his death, if one exists.

The photo I've attached is the location of the Butts resting place, the photo the lady took for me.
