Mr. Fagan has been playing with Henrietta Byron, of the Byron Sisters, since 1895. Barney Fagan was born in Boston, Mass., January 12, 1850. “EUSTACHE” (George Worrell Culbertson), until February, 1878, was known as George Robinson. He attained prominence as a female impersonator, and made his first appearance with Dan Shelby, at his variety house in Buffalo, N. Y. His principal minstrel engagements were with Harry Robinson, and Cal. Wagner’s. “Eustache” is said to be a native of Piqua, O.; he died at Buffalo, N. Y., April 30, 1884. WILL H. MORTON (Bushman), well known as an able interlocutor and singer of motto songs, was one of the original members of Haverly’s Minstrels of 1873; subsequently he did sketches with “Bernardo.” Mr. Morton was the husband of Lily Post, the favorite light opera singer. Will H. Morton died in Pittsburgh, Pa., November 2, 1895. EDWIN HARLEY, a well-known vocalist of the old Haverly days, made his first appearance as a member of Maguire’s Minstrels in San Francisco, February 23, 1874. Mr. Harley is said to be comfortably situated in the railroad business in the great Northwest. EDDID FOY (Fitzgerald), the “famed farceur with the funny face,” was a black-face song and dance man more than thirty years ago. He was of the team of Foy and Thompson; they began an engagement at Carncross’ Minstrels in Philadelphia, as late as January 22, 1883. This was before Mr. Foy had dark designs of donning the habiliments of Hamlet. HARRY BUDWORTH (John B. Kearney) was well known as a capable comedian, and was associated with some of the best minstrel organizations. His professional career began in the early 70’s, and ended shortly before his death, when he achieved considerable success appearing in vaudeville in Charles Horwitz’s “A Royal Visitor.” Harry Budworth died in Philadelphia, April 2, 1901. JAMES H. DECKER began his professional career in an executive capacity with Cooper and Bailey’s Circus in 1879, and continued with them for three seasons. Minstrelsy first knew him also in 1879, when he was with Hooley and Emerson’s Megatherians. In 1881 he joined Sells Brothers Circus, and the following year was assistant agent with Leavitt’s Gigantean Minstrels. In 1883 he returned to Sells Brothers, and continued with them three years. Mr. Decker was so highly esteemed by his associates, that in November, 1883, they presented him with a gold watch charm.
