"After passing his early years in Norwich, where his father conducted a mill business, Mr Booth came to Randolph in May, 1872, being employed for a time by the Salisbury company as sawyer. Later he established and conducted for awhile a table manufactory near the Sanford sawmill, which still later he acquired. He operated this mill for many years successfully.
"Mr. Booth was a substantial citizen, conservative in his views, strictly honest and square in his dealings, quiet in demeanor, a reader and thinker, who in his later years lived much in the past. He served Randolph as selectman for a period. Since 1902 he had kept a careful daily record of the weather to which his neighbors and townsmen often referred.
"Dec. 18, 1877, he joined Phoenix lodge, F. and A. M. and retained his membership during life. For some time he had been the oldest past grand master of the local lodge. He survived all the brother Masons present at the time of his admission and was the oldest member of the lodge. Last winter he received a 50-year membership emblem."
