Death of Mrs. L.B. Booth

Another Loved One Rests In Heaven

While many were enjoying the blessings of another Christmas day came the sad 
intelligence of the death of Mrs. L.B. Booth, which occurred at the home of her 
daughter, Mrs. H.O. Johnson, at Forsyth, Ga. on Sunday evening the 24th of 
Dec.  Mrs. Booth, was taken sick about two weeks before her death with a severe 
cold which terminated in pneumonia, and despite the earnest efforts of kind 
friends and physicians she peacefully fell asleep in the arms of Jesus.  Aunt 
Booth, as she was familiarly known was a resident of this county for many years 
and much loved by all who knew her; in fact those who knew her best loved her 
most.  She was a life long member of the Methodist church whose membership was 
at Union – Hays church, where she often met her Savior and worshiped at His 
throne.  Language fails to tell of her goodness or the worth of her character 
in the community in which she lived, but whose virtues will ever shine forth as 
the noonday sun.  Wherever she went her life proved the example of Christ, and 
now that she rests from the toils of life will only strengthen the confidence 
of those left behind to be led by the examples she has set before them.

Mrs. Booth was in the 71st year of her age and was the mother of six children, 
two of whom had preceded her to the grave and four are yet on the way – they 
are Mr. Geo. Booth, Mrs. H.O. Johnson, Mrs. Tom Gostin and Mr. Russ Johnson.  
Her remains were interred at Union church on Tuesday surrounded by many 
sorrowing friends and loved ones; Mr. A.B. Peed conducted the funeral services 
and paid a very touching tribute to the memory of the deceased.  To the 
bereaved relatives we extend our sincere sympathy.
