John H. Booz Passes In Rome

J. H. Booz, brother of Kate Booz, died Sunday afternoon at the home of his 
brother, Tom Booz, in Rome after a lingering illness.  At one time, Mr. Booz 
was a wealthly Montana cattleman, but sold his western interests, and for the 
past few years had made his home with his brother in Rome.  He was 81 years 
old.
Funeral rites were held Monday afternoon at the chapel of Bisaner's Funeral 
home with Rev. Olin G. Beall, rector of St. James Episcopal Church 
officiating.  Music was rendered by a quartet composed of Joe Tate, Howell 
Lagan, J. Wesley Cone, and W. O. Barrow.  Internment was followed in Greenwood 
Cemetery.  Pallbearers were C. C. Bunn, A. E. Young, Jr., George Vance, Wallis 
Brumby, Tom Booz, Jr., and J. Dodd, of Rome.
He is survived by two sisters, Miss Booz, and Mrs. A. W. Evans of Miami, Fla., 
and two brothers, Tom of Rome and V. T. Booz, of Chicago.

Roman Brother's Services Held

     Funeral services were conducted in Cedartown yesterday afternoon for John 
Henry Booz, 82, brother of Tom H. Booz of Rome, who died Sunday afternoon 
following an extended illness.
     He was the oldest son of the late Thomas H. and Martha Whitehead Booz, of 
Amherst, Va., who moved to what is now known as Boozville in 1859, when he was 
a small boy.  At an early age he went west and located in Wyoming, later to 
Billings, Montana, where he was in the cattle business.  He retired several 
years ago after his health failed.
     Surviving him are two sisters, Miss Kate Booz, of Cedartown, and Mrs. A. 
Willis Evans of Miami, Fla., two brothers, Ben Booz, of Chicago, and Tom Booz, 
whom he was visiting here, and several nieces and nephews also survive him.  A 
brother, Will Booz, preceded him in death on Dec. 28, 1939.
     The services were conducted yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock by the 
Rev. Dr. Beall, and a quartet sang "Rock of Ages."  Several friends from Rome 
accompanied his brother's family to the services.  The interment was in the 
Cedartown cemetery.
