Died in the Lusitania sinking.
It had only been twelve months since Mr. and Mrs. Booth-Jones had left Marple to live in London. Mr. Booth-Jones was a very well respected antiques dealer with shops in St Anne's Square, Manchester, Chester and Bond Street, London, when he made the decision to move from their home at Prospect House, Strines. He needed to concentrate on the booming West End business and it was with feelings of sadness that the family left Marple.
The success continued, a business trip to America was combined with a family holiday and along with their eight year old daughter, Ailsa, and five year old son, Percival, they travelled across the Atlantic on one of the great steam liners of the time. The return trip was to be something special, sailing on the pride of the Cunard fleet, the "Lusitania".
