JOHN R. BOOSE

  John R. Boose, aged 85, father of Judge Norman T. Boose, and one of Somerset 
County's best known and highly respected citizens, died Wednesday morning at 5 
o'clock at his home in Somerset.  Mr. Boose had been in poor health for the last 
three years, suffering from a complication of diseases, and was bedfast for the 
last eight months.
  John R. Boose was a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Boose, and was born in 
Brothersvalley Township.  He was educated in the public schools in that section 
and later moved to Milford Township where he was a farmer and held a number of 
minor offices of public trust.
  In 1900 Mr. Boose removed to Somerset and had since been a resident of the 
county seat.  He served as clerk of the Somerset County Commissioners after 
coming to Somerset and in 1905 was elected to the office of Register, Recorder 
and Clerk of the Orphan's Court.  At that time the three offices were combined 
into one.
  For a number of years he was secretary and manager of the Star Mutual 
Insurance Company.
  He was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Somerset 
Lutheran Church.
  Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Mary (Turner) Boose, and the following children:  
Judge Norman T. Boose, Attorney Budd B. Boose, Ellis C. Boose, Howard R. Boose, 
and Mrs. Jerome Good, all of Somerset; Oscar and Harvey Boose, both of 
Sunnyside, Wash., and Mrs. Harvey Walker, of Berlin.
  Funeral services probably will be conducted Friday afternoon at his late home, 
in charge of Rev. Dr. I. Hess Wagner, pastor of the Somerset Lutheran Church.  
Interment will be in the Husband Cemetery.
