Samuel Butterfield was born in Yorkshire, England.
Samuel Butterfield was buried in Rose Hill Burial Park, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Mr. Butterfield was born in Yorkshire, England, and came to the United States in 1885. His parents were Edward Butterfield 1826–1907, and Mother Sarah Wrothwell (died in England). They had two children Edward Spaulding Butterfield 1889–1965, and Lucy Butterfield Rose 1893–1971. His siblings were as follows: James William Butterfield 1857–1913, Faith Butterfield Sessions 1866–1938 and Wrothwell Butterfield 1869–1952.

Mr. Butterfield was a member of the Episcopal church and funeral held from St. Paul's cathedral. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Ellen H. Butterfield; a daughter, Mrs. Otto Rose, and a son, Ed S. Butterfield, all of Oklahoma City. A crowd which completely filled St. Paul's Cathedral attended the funeral Thursday afternoon of S.S. Butterfield, county commissioner-elect, who died Tuesday at his home, 2316 S. Broadway.

He was a Former Legislator who Took Up Practice of Law When 55 Years Old. Samuel S. Butterfield, 61 years old, county commissioner-elect, died at his home, 2316 S. Broadway, at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Death followed an operation and an illness of about four weeks. A successor will be appointed by the governor. Mr. Butterfield was elected county commissioner in the November election by a majority of more than 5,000, proportionately the largest of any candidate. HE was to take office July 1, succeeding J.N. Abernathy, present chairman of the board of county commissioners. Mr. Butterfield was born in Yorkshire, England, and came to the United States in 1885. His first work was with a florist trade journal with which he remained as an associate editor for twelve years. He came to Oklahoma City in 1909 and entered the floral business. Several years ago he conducted a column in The Daily Oklahoman under the heading of the "Flower Garden." At an age when most lawyers have established their practice, he studied law and was admitted to the bar in June, 1915, when 55 years old. HE had offices the last several years with George D. Key and King L. Fitzpatrick, 716 Oil Exchange building. He was elected a representative from his district to the sixth and seventh legislature, and during the two terms instituted many measures and championed many causes he believed were for civic betterment. All offices in the court house were closed between 2 and 3 o'clock Thursday so that officials and employes could attend the services. Business houses in Capitol Hill were closed between 2 and 4 o'clock
