  CHARLES C. BOOTH, Seward township farmer, is one of the early day settlers of

Nobles county, having lived here since he was five years of age. He is the son

of William H. Booth, of Seward, and was born near Mankato, in Blue Earth county,

Minn., Nov. 20, 1866.



  In 1872 the family moved to Nobles county and the father took a homestead in

Seward township, where he has ever since resided. One of the first sights to

greet the eye of young Booth upon his arrival was a herd of 25 elk, which he saw

about a mile west of his present home. Our subject was raised on his father's

farm and secured his education in the schools of Nobles county. He was married

Nov. 20, 1887, to Miss Minnie Cosper, a daughter of D. Jason Cosper, and a

native of Roscoe, Ill., where she was born April 10, 1866.



  After his marriage Mr. Booth secured his farm of 89 1/4 acres on the southwest

quarter of section 26, and has since engaged in farming for himself. He is a

member of the Methodist church of Seward township, which was built on his

father's land, and which was built principally by him in 1896. Fraternally he is

a member of the M. W. A. and I. O. O. F. lodges. During the last ten years he

has held the office of school treasurer of district 38.



  Mr. and Mrs. Booth are the parents of the following children: Elsie, born

Sept. 30, 1888; Clyde, born June 1, 1891; Alma, born April 24, 1894; Floyd, born

Nov. 27, 1897; Ruth, born March 30, 1901.
