BUDD B. BOOSE

  Attorney Budd B. Boose, brother of Judge Norman T. Boose and a leading member 
of the Somerset County Bar, died at 1:15 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 24, in Mercy 
Hospital, Pittsburgh, where he had been a patient for some time, resting and 
taking treatment for a bad heart condition from which he had been suffering at 
intervals during the last two years.
  He was a member of the Somerset County bar for 28 years, and at the time of 
his death was senior member of the law firm of Boose, Coffroth & Boose, 
Somerset.
  He was born on a farm in Milford Twp. on Oct. 13, 1886, the sixth son of John 
R. and Anna Mary (Turner) Boose.
  He was educated in the public schools and after his graduation from Somerset 
High School was employed for several years by the Farmer's National Bank of 
Somerset.  He ended that employment to prepare himself for the legal profession, 
receiving his LL. B. degree from the University of Michigan in 1915.
  After graduating he became the first secretary of the Somerset County Coal 
Operators Association.  A short time later he entered military service in World 
War I.  He was honorably discharged Mar. 1, 1919.
  After his admission to practice at the Somerset County bar, in 1919, and later 
to the Federal Appellate Court of Western Pennsylvania, he joined his brother, 
Norman T. Boose, in practice.  The partnership of Boose & Boose was dissolved in 
1930 when Norman T. Boose was elected to the bench.
  After that attorney Budd B. Boose practiced alone, until the close of World 
War II, when his nephew, Capt. Robert I. Boose returned from service and became 
affiliated with him using the old firm name of Boose & Boose.  Last year 
Attorney Charles H. Coffroth also joined the firm which then became Boose, 
Coffroth & Boose.
  Attorney Boose was a director of the Somerset Trust Company, a trustee of 
Trinity Lutheran Church and of S.S. Crouse American Legion Post of Somerset.
  He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Bertha Weimer Boose, and daughter, Mrs. R. W. 
Brown of Detroit, Mich.  Also surviving are these brothers and a sister: 
Attorney Harvey A., and Oscar R. Boose, Sunnyside, Wash., and Norman T. Boose, 
Howard R. Boose and Mrs. Jerome Good of Somerset.
  Funeral services were held last Friday, at his home on East Patroit Street, at 
4 p.m., with Rev. Dr. I. Hess Wagner, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church, 
officiating.  Burial was made in the Husband Cemetery under the direction of 
Walter S. Hoffman.
  Among the out of town relatives attending the funeral of Attorney Boose, 
Friday, were Attorney and Mrs. R. Wendell Brown of Detroit, Mich., Mrs. Mary W. 
Large of Ithaca, N.Y.; Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Marling Miller, 
all of Uniontown; Dr. and Mrs. John S. Large, Erie; Mrs. Oscar Boose, Sunnyside, 
Wash., and Mrs. Bertha M. Kelso, New Haven, Conn.
