Biography of Mrs. Delia Butt, page 849 / 850.  History of De Kalb County, 
Indiana.  Inter-State Publishing Company, Chicago, 1885.

Mrs. Delia Butt, wife of John Butt, of Auburn, De Kalb Co., Ind., was born 
Nov. 4, 1816, in County of Sussex, England.  She was married to John Butt 
Nov. 16, 1841, and settled with her husband in De Kalb County the following 
November; shared in the hardships and privations of frontier life without 
repining, and now in the decline of life, contemplates with pleasing 
reflections, the vast improvements made in this country of her adoption.  
She has witnessed its development from a vast forest to its present splendid 
improvement in agriculture, commerce and wealth; where the wild deer, bear 
and wolf roamed, now the iron horse of the railroads, rushes through the 
county, with its steam shriek and rumbling thunder.
