BUTLER CENTER METHODIST CHURCH MARRIAGES
1856 - 1914

Marriages were recorded in three different record books by the officiating ministers. These books were saved by Marjorie Colvin, who served as Secretary for the church for many years. Leola Crane Sutton placed the original record books in the Methodist Church Central NY Conference Archives Room at the Cicero United Methodist Church, Cicero, NY. Copies were also given to the Onondaga County Library, Salina Street, Syracuse, NY; Wayne Co. Historian's Office, 9 Pearl St., Lyons, NY; and the Butler Town Clerk's Office, Butler Center, NY. They can be viewed at any of these locations.
