About Dwight E Butler

   Oral family history was that Dwight entered the army, receiving compensation for taking the place of a draftee.  He served as part of a crew manning a cannon.  
   According to his grandson Roland, Dwight had a "Photo Car" in Holyoke MA, located "near the Holyoke bicycle factory".  The car was a small studio on wheels, but not typically moved.  He did a good business on Thursdays, when the workers were paid.        
  The bicycle factory was likely the Keating Wheel Company [http://keatingwheelcompany.com/aboutus.php] at 30 Dwight Street, which was only a block or so from his main studio and residence at the corner of High & Appleton
