Oscar Butler (b. Aug. 12, 1877 d. Mar. 27, 1960) that you mentioned is my great-grandfather. He married Flora Matilda Weber (b. Dec. 15, 1878 d. July 2, 1956) on Aug. 2, 1899 in Indianapolis. They had three children: Gladys Pauline Butler (b. Mar. 3, 1901 d. Feb 2, 1994), Otto Weber Butler (b. May 18, 1908 d. Aug. 3, 1946), and Archibald (Joe) Lavelle Butler (b. Feb. 26, 1903 d. Feb. 7, 1995).
They lived in Anderson, Indiana in 1917 because that is where Gladys Butler married a Russel Hiday and they had one daughter; then second husband was Melvin Lane. Otto Butler was married and had a son and daughter. Otto Butler was in the Navy and when got out he became a race car driver. He died in a accident while racing at a race track in Indianapolis. Archibald Lavelle Butler was married to Mable Marie Mackeyand they had three sons and three daughters.
I also saw some informtion at the Lawerenceburg Library on Reuben and Anna Butler. I think that they crossed the Ohio river there. If you can find a map of Indiana to see where the county where at different time periods you will be surprised at what you see. At time time period Dearborn County went pretty far on the side of Indiana. It covers more towns then what it does now. I have copies of Indiana at different years.

The census in 1900 show the following:
Rueben J. Butler, May 1831, age 69, b. Indiana
Lonnie Butler, wife, Sept. 1840, age 28, b. Indiana
Carrie Butler, dau., Nov 1879, age 20, b. Indiana
Harry Butler, son, Sept. 1884, age 15, b. Indiana
Sylvester Butler, son, Mar. 1882, age 18, b. Indiana
Leona Butler, g-dau., Sept. 1893, age 6, b. Indiana
Chas Butler, son, Nov. 1871, age 28, b. Indiana

This could be Rueben J. Butler's other wife or a different branch of Butler's.
