Charles Sylvester Butler (March 29, 1870 – May 26, 1946) was an American physician and politician from New York.
Life[edit]
Butler was born on March 29, 1870, in Colesville, New York, the son of Dr. Andrew J. Butler and Mary J. Booth.[1]
Butler attended Windsor High School and studied medicine with his father. He graduated from Albany Medical College in 1895.[1] After graduating, he assisted his father's practice. He then moved to Nineveh. In 1898, after taking a course in the Polyclinic, he returned to Nineveh and was appointed surgeon of the Delaware & Hudson Railroad. In 1903, he moved to Harpursville.[2]
In 1906, Butler was elected a coroner for Broome County. He held that office for three years and declined a nomination for a second term. In 1910, he was elected to the New York State Assembly as a Republican, representing Broome County. He served in the Assembly in 1911.[3] He lost the 1911 re-election to the Assembly to Democratic candidate Arthur J. Ruland.[4] He later moved to Binghamton. He practiced medicine there until his retirement in 1936. He resumed his medical practice during World War II.[5]
Butler was a member of the Freemasons, the Royal Arch Masonry, the Improved Order of Red Men, and Phi Sigma Kappa.[1] In 1899, he married Jessie Bushnell.[2] By the time he died, he was married to E. Irene. His children were Andrew Payson, Charles Butler, and Thomas Wright.[5]
Butler died in the City Hospital from bladder cancer on May 26, 1946.[6] He was buried in Spring Forest Cemetery.[5]
