Author: H. W. Beckwith (1881)

   A. M. Booe, hardware dealer, Veedersburg, native of Fountain county, son of
John and Mary Booe; the former a native of South Carolina, born in 1803;
emigrated to Fayette county, Indiana, where he remained till he reached the age
of manhood, when he emigrated to Fountain county, settling on Scott's prairie,
where he has since lived a successful farmer; the latter, a native of Ireland,
emigrated to Indiana with her parents, Thomas and Christiana Moffett, first
locating in Fayette county, and then removing to Scott's Prairie, Fountain
county. A. M. is the eighth of his father's family of nine children. His
education consists of a course in the Scott's Prairie graded school and several
terms at the University at Kokomo, Indiana, and the practical knowledge gathered
during fourteen years spent in teaching. In 1872 he was married to Elizabeth
Glasscock, native of Fountain county, daughter of Thomas and Sarah A. Glasscock,
pioneer settlers of Fountain county. He is at present engaged in the hardware
trade in Veedersburg—firm-name, Booe & Glasscock. He was elected in 1879, by the
people of Fountain county, to the office of superintendent of the public
schools, a position which his long experience in the school-room has made him a
fit subject for the office.
