Clark County Herald, Wednesday Afternoon, March 27, 1895, page 10:
Excerpts from her obituary (which is very long):
Died at her home in Marshall, on Wednesday, March 20, at 11:00 p.m. Anna, wife of Fenton W. Booth, aged 24 years 1 month and 8 days.
Anna Harlan, only daughter of Edwin and "Aunt Lide" Harlan, was born in Marshall, on Feb. 12, 1871. She grew to womanhood in this, her native place, acquiring a fine education in the public schools, from which she graduated in 1888. She was an elocutionist of great ability and her services were always freely granted to any good cause. She was married to Fenton W. Booth on May 17, 1893. It was one of the happiest of marriages and when a lovely babe came to bless the home, the joy and contentment of the devoted couple was at the full. A few weeks ago Fent had a severe attack of the grippe and shortly after the baby took sick. Hardly had they recovered when Anna, worn with care and nursing and attacked with grippe and pneumonia, succumbed and took to her bed. No need to say that the most devoted nursing and medical attention was given her, but all to no avail. In spite of this and her splendid constitution, the grasp of the Destroyer could not be loosened.
The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon, Rev. Lamb officiating. An unusually large assemblage of people gathered to testify their regard for the deceased.
Anna had been a devoted, working member of the Congregational church and her death leaves a void not soon to be filled.
