Died-At his home in Gonzales,on Saturday, February 6, 1892, at 5:40 p.m., George Jefferson Boothe, aged 67 years, 3 months and 26 days.
Mr. Boothe's death was from pneumonia that has carried off so many citizens all over the land.His remains were taken to the Baptist church Sunday evening at 3 o'clock where Rev. E. R. Cardwell conducted the service and delivered an able discourse on his life. At 4 o'clock his remains were taken to the Public cemetery and interred. It was one of the largest funeral procession ever seen in Gonzales. There were nearly one hundred buggies and carriages in the procession. Messrs. J. F. Miller, W. J. Bright, R. H. Walker, W. M. Atkinson, A. J. Moore and M. Eastland acted as pallbearers. Mr. Boothe was one of the oldest citizens of the county, and for nearly a quarter of a cemetery has been identified with the business interests of Gonzales, and was one of its leading business men. His house was characteristic for indomitable energy, push and strict integrity, and in his death the county and town looses a valuable citizen and business man. He was known throughout the county by its citizens, either as a business man, citizen or friend, who will sympathize with the family in their loss.

Memorial Sketch Of George Jefferson Boothe
The subject of this sketch was born in Orange County, N. C., in 1824, and peacefully passed from earth Feb. 6th, aged 67 years, 3 months and 26 days.
He settled in Gonzales county, in 1856, and in the following year returned to Arkansas and married more than an earthly fortune in the worth and character of Miss Mary Ann Jones, who with eight children out of a family of eleven survived him to honor and perpetuate his memory. Mr. Boothe was a man of mark, possessing an assemblage of rare qualities that won for him the love and admiration of countless multitudes. Among his personal characteristics, so prominent and conspicuous as to be generally recognized, may be mentioned frankness, scrupulous honesty, conscientious, depth and strength of conviction, a lofty sense of honor, indomitable will and energy, Napoleonic courage and that delicate sensitiveness that belongs to natures of the finest mound.
His devotion to his family was simply beautiful and exemplary he was all to them and so they were to him.
When quite young he united with the Baptist church. During his last sickness as well as through trials of faith worse than death, he ever remained steadfast and unchanging in his trust in his Redeemer. To the end he vowed the strongest faith in Jesus, not only as his Savior, but as the God of providence who had spared and protected his life and made even his severest affliction a blessing. Sending for his pastor before the death-stroke fell he spoke of death with calmness, that the future was all bright, that he had nothing to fear and would gladly go but for his loved family.
What immensity of glory to the Matchless Grace that one of such trials should be buoyed to the last by such faith. By his interest in all the services of his church and the joy with which he taught classes in the Dabbath school in the last months he seemed ripening for Heavens waiting garner. No man was ever more honored in the last ceremonies than was George Jefferson Boothe.
The righteous hath hope in his death, was the text chosen by his pastor upon which to base his funeral discourse and the Baptist church was not large enough to accommodate the immense throng that assembled to do him deserved honor. The funeral procession reached nearly from the church to the Public cemetery, where another large assembly was gathered awaiting the coming of the loved remains. Flowers were literally heaped upon his grave and softly we sang.
"Asleep in Jesus , blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes to weep,
A claimed and I disturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of woes."
