Butler Rhodes, Class of 1903, was from West Point, Mississippi. The Lucky Bag was not verbose: "Wrestled for the Prince. Great ladies' man and has a dainty lisp. Chews when on duty and hits the pap for it. Awfully devilish and quite cute."
He had a long career, serving all but roughly three of his twenty years at sea aboard many different ships. Three times he was executive officer, including aboard USS Rappahannock, a supply ship. On November 3, 1924 he tripped and fell to his death in that ship's hold.
He was survived by his wife and parents.
