Photo circa 1900.}} Notable outlaw [[Butch Cassidy]] (1866β1908) grew up in Circle Valley just a mile south of Circleville. His family's small cabin, on the outskirts of town, is still standing on the land they homesteaded. [[Charlie Siringo]] visited Circleville while in pursuit of the [[Wild Bunch]]. Siringo wrote, "a week was spent in the straggling village of Circleville, and I found out all about 'Butch's' early life and much about his late doings. His true name was Parker, his nickname being 'Sallie' Parker when a boy. This nickname of itself was enough to drive a sensitive boy to the 'bad'. I had hard work to keep from falling in love with Miss Parker, the pretty young sister of 'Butch' Cassidy. She was the deputy postmistress in Circleville, and I made her acquaintance."<ref name="Charles">{{cite book |last1=Siringo |first1=Charles |title=A Cowboy Detective |date=1912 |publisher=Arcadia Press |isbn=9781545001882 |pages=137}}</ref> Lula Parker Betenson (b. 1884), sister of "Butch" Cassidy, lived in Circleville, dying aged 96 in 1980.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Redford |first1=Robert |title=The Outlaw Trail: A Journey Through Time |date=1976 |publisher=Grosset & Dunlap |location=New York |isbn=0448145901 |pages=209β219}}</ref> Betenson's 1975 book ''Butch Cassidy, My Brother,''<ref>Betenson, Lula Parker; Flack, Dora.
