Distributed Proofreading Team (https://www.pgdp.net).  a"Slippy McGee, Sometimes Known as the Butterfly Man" by Marie Conway Oemler is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in a small town called Appleboro, South Carolina, and follows the experiences of Father Armand De Rancé, a Catholic priest, as he navigates his calling and the vibrant community around him. Central to the narrative is the character John Flint, also known as Slippy McGee, a noted burglar whose life takes a turn after a devastating accident.   At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the quaint town of Appleboro and its inhabitants through the eyes of Father De Rancé. His reflections on the town's traditions, as well as on the nature of his ministry and the people he serves, add depth to the setting. The opening portion reveals the arrival of John Flint, who is found severely injured near the railroad tracks. In the Parish House, Father De Rancé and the kind-hearted Dr. Westmoreland work to save Flint, resulting in the traumatic amputation of his leg. As Flint begins his recovery, we see glimpses of his past life, and the tensions between his criminal identity and the compassionate community that surrounds him, setting the stage for a transformative journey through pain, redemption, and the discovery of his true self.
