Passing of Butler Foster The passing of Butler Foster, colored, in Camden recently, which is told about in another column in a clipping- from the Camden Chronicle, brings a note of personal sadness to Views and Interviews, who had known Butler as long as ho has known anyone. Many years ago Butler was a fixture about Yorkville. Ho worked with the late A. Frank Woods, a contracting carpenter of the eighties. Butler was a contemporary of Isaac Wright, still living; of Bob Adams, Wash and Sam Jackson, negro carpenters of a long gone day. Always respectful and courteous to the whites, old and young, Butler enJoyed the frieiuiship and confidence of practically everybody hereabouts. For years he was a sort of handy man and valet for the lato H. Frank and James I*. Clark?-he perhaps belonged to the CUrks more than to any other white folks hereabouts. But he i worked for any one who needed his services. When Views and Interviews was a very small brat, his one aversion was wearing a hat in the sdmmer time. He just wouldn't. His mother was constantly udmonishing him to wear : his sky pit^ce to prevent sunburn and perhaps worse. Butler und Mr. Woods wore putting up a small building in the yard of Captain Grist and the kid of that day was playing about in tho yard where the work was going on. The sun was boiling down. Said Butler, without even so much as a grin: "Say, do you want to get black like I am?" The kid replied with much vehemence that he had no such desire. Then Butler remarked: "Well, when I was little like you are now, I was just as white as you are, My mother kept telling mo to wear my hat, but like you I wouldn't do ft, and do you know the sunshine just turned me black like I am today, and," with a sigh, 'AI guess I'll be that way as long as I live." That so impressed the kid that ie was more careful about 'wearing his hat or staying and playing in the shade of trees after that. . Though he was away from YoVk- . ville for many years, Butler never lost his real affection for the people of Yorkville, and on his not very frequent visits back to the old town he never failed to call on all of his white friends who still lived here.
