This is a 5.4" by 4.5" piece of paper that has

the autographs of Rev. Thomas C. Darst  

and Rev. H. Fairfield Butt III.

Both of these autographs date to the late 1930s.

There is also a third autograph on the

reverse side, which I have not identified.

Rev. Thomas Campbell Darst  (1875-1948) 

was the third Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese 

of East Carolina, serving in that position from 

1915 to 1945. 

Darst was ordained deacon in 1902, and priest 

in June 1903. From 1903 to 1905 he was rector 

of Trinity Church in Upperville, Virginia; Emmanuel 

Church in Middleburg, Virginia; and Redeemer 

Church in Aldie, Virginia. In 1905 he became 

rector of St Mark's Church in Richmond, Virginia, 

while in 1909 he transferred to Newport News, 

Virginia, to become rector of St Paul's Church. 

Between 1914 and 1915 he served as rector of 

St James' Church in Richmond, Virginia. Darst 

was elected Bishop of East Carolina on October 7, 

1914, and consecrated on January 6, 1915. 

Holt Fairfield Butt III (1907-1951) was 

at one point the Episcopal chaplain at

the West Point Military Academy. He 

served as Chaplain in the U.S. Navy 

during World War II.  After the war, he

served as Rector of Christ Protestant 

Episcopal Church, in Baltimore, Maryland.
