Booth, Louis Edward, D. V. S., veterinary physician and surgeon, of Gardner, 
Grundy County, Ill., demonstrates in his daily work the importance of his 
profession. The lives of valuable registered stock frequently depend upon the 
skill of the man who is called to attend them, and such advances have been 
made in this branch of medical science that the course veterinary physician 
and surgeon takes is quite as exacting as that in any other professional 
field. Although the youngest of his calling, Doctor Booth is the possessor of 
the largest practice in Grundy County, and his hospital for animals is one of 
the best-equipped in this part of the State. He was born in Gardner, Grundy 
County, Ill., in 1888, and is a son of Abraham and Captolia (Allison) Booth.

The early education of Louis E. Booth was secured in the public schools of 
Gardner, and in 1907 he graduated from the Gardner High school. Following this 
he clerked in various stores and in the postoffice, and after some preparatory 
study he entered the Chicago Veterinary College, where he was graduated in 
1911. On May 15 of that year, Doctor Booth’s preceptor, Dr. N. P. Whitmore, of 
Gardner, one of the best known veterinarians in the State, died, and Doctor 
Booth succeeded to his practice to which he has since given his entire 
attention. He is the proprietor of a large veterinary hospital at Gardner, 
which is equipped for the treatment of all kinds of ailing domestic animals, 
and his success in a number of complicated cases has gained him a wide 
reputation in his profession. He prepares his own medicines, and has a large 
and valuable library, and keeps fully abreast of the discoveries in veterinary 
science, subscribing for the leading journals and belonging to various medical 
organizations.

Doctor Booth was married November 2, 1912, to Grace Holmes, daughter of J. H. 
Holmes. He is a member of the local lodges of the Masons and Modern Woodmen of 
America, in both of which he has numerous friends. Politically a Republican, 
he has staunchly supported his party’s policies and candidates, but has never 
sought office and takes but a good citizen’s interest in public affairs.
