The Republican Ledger (Noblesville, Indiana) Friday, February 12, 1886:

On the Death of Katie Booth.

Miss Katie Booth, youngest daughter of Joseph Booth of our town, was, at the time of her death, a member of the Young Ladies' Bible Class at the Christian Church taught by R. R. Stephenson. The class is composed of the fol- lowing among other young ladies:

Misses Lizzie Essington, Ella Kelly, Della Smock, Emma Gaecho, Julia Fisher, Katie Booth, Mary Bender, Cora Gray, Maggie Weaver, Alice Conner, Jennie Bare, Leona Harrison.

Last Sunday Miss Essington offered the following resolutions which were unanimously adopted:

WHEREAS; In view of the loss sustained by the decease of our friend and classmate Katie Booth, and of the still heavier loss sustained by those nearest and dearest to her, therefore be it
RESOLVED; That it is but a just tribute to the memory of the departed to say that in regretting her removal from our midst we mourn for one who was in every way worthy of our respect and regard.
RESOLVED; That while we deeply sympathize with those who are bound to our departed classmate by the nearest and dearest ties, we share with them the hope of a reunion in that better world where there are no partings and bliss ineffable forbids a tear.
RESOLVED; That this heartfelt testimonial of our sympathy and sorrow be forwarded to the family of our departed friend and that a copy be printed in each of the county papers.

Other records show in April, 1879, thirteen-year-old Katie participated in an entertainment program by the Christian Sunday School along with eleven-year-old Dora Eller; admittance was 10¢ with proceeds going to the Sunday School library. In November, 1880, Katy was sick with Typhoid Fever. In July, 1882, Miss Lena Taylor of Indianapolis visited her. In 1882, she ranked high in her Freshman high school class with an average of 88.2. In December of that year she attended a masquerade party disguised as the "Inn Keeper's Daughter;" the newspaper reported "she eclipsed everything in the hall." In April 1883, she was sick for several days but visited her cousins in May. In August 1883, she spent a day in Westfield.
