We regret to announce the death of William Harvey Button, Esq., of East Saginaw, Mich., which took place at Middlebury, Wednesday morning, August 31st.
Mr. Button was the son of the late Hon. Harvey Button, and was born at Wallingford, February 7th, 1842. He graduated at Middlebury College, and studied law with his father, and also with Artemas Waldo, Esq., of Port Henry, N.Y., and was admitted to the bar in Rutland county in September, 1864.
In March, 1865, he removed to Michigan and opened an office in the city of East Saginaw, where he commenced the practice of his profession, with a constantly increasing business.
