- Description
- Irene Butts was an English instructor at Oregon State College from 1946 to 1964. She was born in 1899, in Minnewahkon, North Dakota. She received her undergraduate education at North Dakota State University from 1936 to 1939, and received her Bachelor of Arts in English from Oregon State College in 1946. She listed her daughter, Jayce LaRayn Butts, as her beneficiary in her job application to OSC. However, she did not mention if she was single, married, or widowed. In 1951, she had to take sick leave, as she fell ill with pneumonia. In 1953, the Oregon Federation of Women’s Club wrote a letter about the Oregon State College Board of Trustees loan of $200 to Irene Butts in 1946, which was still not fully paid off. She made one payment in 1953, which made the balance $173.90, but afterwards, she was difficult to reach. The letter mentions the many difficulties Butts had faced over the years in paying back her loan. Butts later revealed in an apology letter that she had many medical expenses that made it difficult to pay off her loan. She retired in 1964, after 18 years of service to Oregon State.
