Excerpt from Memorial of William Allen Butler William Allen Butler was Lorn at Albany, on February 20. 1825, and died at Yonkers, on September 9, 1902. He was a son of Benjamin F. Butler and Harriet Allen, his wife. She was a relative of Lieutenant William Howard Allen of the Navy, for whom William Allen Butler was named. Benjamin F. Butler was one of the most distinguished lawyers of his time. He was Attorney-General in the cabinets of Presidents Jackson and Van Buren. One of William Allen Butler's earliest recollections was of being frequently, when a little boy, at the White Hou where he was an especial pet of President Van Buren. The relations between Mr. Van Buren and William Allen Butler during all Mr. Van Buren's life were very friendly. Mr. Butler regarded him with great esteem and admiration, and after his death, about the beginning of the war, Mr. Butler delivered an admirable address on "Martin Van Buren, as Lawyer. Statesman and Man." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
