  "Orville Boyd Jenkins, my dad's siblings were his older sister Annette Frank Butler Baudier, the the brother just below my dad William Ross Butler, Dan Benjamin Barnard Butler, Louise Butler also known as Susie, Virginia Butler known as pumpkin, and then Marshall Archibald Butler.  Just a quick mention about my aunt Annette's middle name Frank.  It was her aunt Annie's middle name as well.  Her aunt's, my great-aunt's, name was Anna Frank Butler Scott.  She was the sister that took care of my grandfather Reid Butler Sr after his mother had passed.  I have no idea where the name Frank came from."
