The Standard, Cedartown, GA., January 15, 1920, page 11
Venerable Lady Dies

     Eighty-four years ago, Martha Ann Whitehead was born in Virginia. In her 
young womanhood, she married Mr. Thos. H.
Booz, and a few years later they moved to Georgia, where both spent the 
remainder of their lives. Coming to Cedartown,
they built the Booz House, which Mrs. Booz ran successfully as long as her 
health permitted, her husband looking after other
interests. Major Booz died about ten years ago.
     Mrs. Booz, after years of ill health, in which she patiently bore the 
infirmities of age, passed away in the early morning
hours of Thursday morning, and her remains were laid to rest Saturday 
afternoon in the city cemetery, funeral services being
conducted by Rev. C. P. Willcox.
     Surviving are four sons, Messrs. Henry Booz of Parkman, Wyo., B. T. Booz 
of Chicago, Thos. Booz of Rome, W. E.
Booz of Cedartown; and three daughters, Mrs. A. Willis Evans of Sandersville, 
Misses Kate and Lizzie Booz of Cedartown.
Another son, Mr. J. W. Booz, passed away three years ago.
Mrs. Booz was a member of the Presbyterian church, and was a woman of strong 
character.  Her long life has been one of
active usefulness, and to her death has come as a sweet sleep after life's 
labors. Coming from a distance to attend her
funeral were Hon. and Mrs. A. Willis Evans of Sandersville, Mr. and Mrs. B. T. 
Booz of Chicago, and Mr. T. H. Booz and
family of Rome.
