JAMES W. BUTLER.
    James W. Butler, cashier of the Washington State Bank, is proving a capable
and obliging official of that institution and the thoroughness with which he
takes up his work and carries on his duties day by day constitutes a
contributing factor to the success of the business. Mr. Butler was born in
Batesville, Arkansas, November 9, 1869. His youthful days were spent in the town
and his education was acquired in the public schools, supplemented by study in
Arkansas College. Starting out in the business world, he was employed on the
Cotton Belt Railroad for a period of fourteen years and, removing from Texarkana
to Washington in 1909, he here became associated with the Lesser-Goldman Cotton
Company of St. Louis, having charge of their plantation of sixteen hundred acres
as manager. Though the duties were heavy and manifold, he measured up to the
standards demanded by his employers, giving to them the benefit of capable and
efficient service. In 1918 he became cashier of the Washington State Bank and is
now one of its stockholders. He is also one of the stockholders of the W. J.
Johnson Mercantile Company and is thus closely associated with the commercial
and financial interests of the town.

    In 1913 Mr. Butler was united in marriage to Miss Lenora Trimble and their
circle of friends in Washington is almost coextensive with the circle of their
acquaintance. Mr. Butler is a member of the Masonic fraternity, recognizing the
brotherhood of man and the obligations thereby imposed. He is also a faithful
member of the Presbyterian church and his aid and influence are ever on the side
of reform, right and progress.
