September 1, 1951, Appleton Post-Crescent
Like our post from yesterday, this man could easily provide some cultural context to the past seventy years of his life as a printer. Beginning in the 1880's and moving forward to the early 1950's, this man has seen some history as it unfolded. For the uninitiated, a printer's devil was a young apprentice in a printing establishment who performed a number of tasks, such as mixing tubs of ink and fetching type. Mr. Butterworth long ago left that behind as he mastered the art and even became his own client by becoming a poet on the side.
I would love to own an anthology of Mr. Butterworth’s poems. They are very written.
