Henry A. Butters, Jr., or "Habs," as his friends called him, was born on April 28, 1892 in San Francisco. His father, Henry Augustus Butter, was a prominent figure in the mining and railroad industries. Butters' uncle, Charles Butters, was also a Berkeley mining man. After leaving England in 1906, where he attended Beumont College, Butters returned to Berkeley and intended to continue his studies at the University of California. Before he was able to begin, Butters became ill with pneumonia and was ordered to go to sea to improve his health. Butters died on August 31, 1916, while in the British Army during World War I.
