🌟 In case you missed it, we announced earlier this week that we’re helping the City of Springdale 🔎 locate photos of certain past mayors missing from its 🗃️ archives. We’re hoping someone in the public might be able to help.
Today, we’re looking for images of Mayor Paul Butler, who served from 1928-1930. Our research indicates there was a Paul Bevans Butler who lived from 1864-1945 and was a lawyer in Springdale in 1920. Though we don’t have a photo, we do have one of the Springdale Fire Department from this time, which Butler likely oversaw.
