Fact Check: Clarifying Memorial Listings for Mary Butler Young
By Alexander Ross
To establish clarity for genealogical researchers and surviving acquaintances, the following verified records track the independent filings across the eastern United States that automated web crawlers have routinely miscategorized:
| Legal Name on Record | Publishing Provider | Official Record Date | Registry Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ms. Mary Butler | Adams Funeral Services | September 18, 2023 | Confirmed single individual service |
| Mary Young | McDougald Funeral & Cremation Services | March 6, 2025 | Confirmed independent memorial listing |
| Jim Butler | Alexander Funeral Home & Cremation Center | May 25, 2026 | Verified family archive |
| Edward A. Butler | Woyasz & Son Funeral Service (Ledyard, CT) | June 9, 2026 | Legacy obituary search cross-listing |
The comparative data shows a wide spread across years and jurisdictions. The records belong to separate family trees spanning Connecticut, Georgia, and the Carolinas. Without manual identity verification, scraper algorithms condense these independent entries into single compound names, creating administrative noise for individuals doing legitimate family background research.
