EXPRESSING THE SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AT THE DEATH OF ALFRED T. ("A.T.") BUTLER OF RICHLAND COUNTY AND EXTENDING SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, Mr. Alfred T. ("A.T.") Butler of Richland County died recently at the age of eighty; and
Whereas, he was active for many years in Richland County politics and civic matters; and
Whereas, he was among the few black citizens to be elected to the Richland County Council under the old at-large method of choosing council members; and
Whereas, his efforts and success paved the way for other African-Americans who now hold key positions in local politics; and
Whereas, he was a graduate of Allen University, received his master's degree in education from South Carolina State College, was the principal of Elisha Junior High School of Newberry for seven years, was a former executive secretary of the Palmetto Education Association, and had served in several positions at Allen, including teaching; and
Whereas, he was a member and head steward at Bishops' Memorial AME Church in Columbia; and
Whereas, he was an outstanding individual, a gentleman, and a person who loved people, and he will be missed greatly by all who knew him; and
Whereas, we, the members of the General Assembly, want his family and his many friends to know that they are in our thoughts and have our sincerest sympathy. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, expresses sorrow at the death of Alfred T. ("A.T.") Butler of Richland County and extends sympathy to his family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the family of Mr. Butler.
