About James Waller Butler

Farmer/coal miner, Bible scholar, fought for South in Civil war
James "Waller" Butler's middle name might have been Walter. James fought for the South in the Civil War, his brother-in-law (Jennie Bell butler's husband) fought for the North. In later years, they lived together and fought over the war until they died. My grandmother, Goldie Moss Butler, told me that James Butler had the ability to "lay on hands," - had the power through prayer to lay his hands above someone's injury or bleeding, pray and the energy would come from God through James to the person who needed the help and stop the injured person's bleeding.
He had six children:
Joseph M Butler 1858
Mary Susan Oliver (Butler) 1868
Charles William Butler 1871
Viania Grady (Butler) 1876
Jenny Belle Montogomery (Butler) 1880
Nettie Butler
