Henry Francis Booth, of 358 Warburton avenue, died suddenly from heart failure, in the Subway Station at Wall street New York City, about 5:30 last evening. Mr. Booth was returning from Cedarhurst, Long Island, and boarded a Subway train at the station at Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn. As the train approached the Wall Street Station he suddenly collapsed. Passengers and trainmen carried him from the train and a doctor was summoned, but there was nothing he could do. The body was removed to the Old Slip Police Station, and Mr. Booth's family was notified. Mr. Booth was born in Hastings, N.Y., and was 60 years old. He received his early education in Hastings, and later removed to New York City, where he resided until about 25 years ago, when he came to Yonkers. He had been in the contracting business since he was a young man, and was at the head of the firm of Henry F. Booth A Co. Some of the buildings erected under the direction of Mr. Booth were: The Dunn Building, at 19th street and Broadway. Pierpoint Hotel and the Church of the Good Counsel, in New York City; St. Saviour's and St. Brendan's and Rose of Lima Churches in Brooklyn. He was the contractor for the construction of the incinerating plant in Yonkers. He was an honorary member of the New Rochelle Yacht Club, and had been a member of the Yonkers Yacht Club.
