I always run into dead relatives when I do any search on my last name.  Not
a surpise.  John Butterfield ran a stageline and was one of the founding
partners of Wells-Fargo.  Used to be Butterfield-Wells.  One of his sons,
Daniel Butterfield wrote the military tune Taps.  One of Daniels offspring
had twins, one of which worked in the White House and let on about the Nixon
tapes.  No wonder I'm odd.
