The Atlanta Constitution  September 14, 1905

Judge Edgar M. Butt

Editor Constitution:  In the account of J. Henry Lumpkin's death, which 
appeared in The Constitution, it was stated that he was a law partner of the 
late Judge W.B. Butt.  This is corrected in the morning's report, it being 
made to read Judge Edgar M. Butt.

Judge E.M. Butt died in Buena Vista in 1893.  He was a gallant colonel in the 
confederate army.  While a member of the general assembly, he was the author 
of the bill establishing the agricultural department.  His picture hangs in 
the commissioner's office today.  He was appointed judge of this circuit, and 
resigned the position on account of his health.  He would have been nominated 
for congress in this district if he had received the votes from the Monroe 
delegation.  The delegates from this county voted against him because Colonel 
Butt assured them that he would not accept the nomination.  He was a noble man 
and a good character.

George P. Munro,  Buena Vista, Ga., September 13, 1905.
