I connected to name Andrew and wife Sarah from marriage data of Carrie K.
Butters together with fit of dates.

Another family in Cemetery may be related. "BUTTERS, Joseph A. "Father"

Age of Joseph A. would put him in range to be child of A. S. Butters & Sarah.

Note: Handwriting somewhat confusing.  Middle initial for Joseph on census
appeared to be G.. This appears to be same individual as Joseph A. Butters on
cemetery record above.  Perhaps tombstone was also difficult to read.  I will
have to research further.
