Calvin Butter Married Rebecca Nixon

I found Calvin Butter in the 1880 census in Shelbyville, Shelby, Indiana. He is married to a Rebecca who is the right age and birthplace to be Rebecca Nixon. This matches the information in Edward Nixon's obituary which makes a pretty strong case that its all correct. The extractors transcribed his name "Butler", but if you look at the record the second "T" is clearly crossed.
