Booth.
Mrs. Fannie Booth, wife of Brother H. C. Booth, died at their home in Commerce, Texas, on Tuesday morning, February 15, 1910, aged seventyfive years. She had often requested that no ostentatious arrangements be made at her death, but that an old father in Israel be invited to speak a few simple words. Complying with tbis request, her husband sent for their old friend, B. B. Taylor, of Lake Creek, who, in a most impressive manner. spoke of tbe godly life of this good woman. No death has ever occurred in Commerce tbat cast more gloom over the entire community. Despite the very inclement weather, the bouse was filled to overflowing, while. a large concourse of sorrowing friends followed the remains to their last resting place. To dear old Brother Booth, no doubt, every heart in Commerce goes out in sincerest sympathy. Lonely indeed be must be. without tbe companion of his youlh, who followed him through life's journey for more than fifty years. Yet he sorrows not as one without hope. for he knows his beloved bas only preceded him to a brighter world, where he will follow and where there will be no more parting. Mrs. Booth is survived by two daughters: Mrs. Etta Booth Mayo, wife of President Mayo, of E. T. N. C., and Mrs. Oliver of New Mexico--and husband, H. C. Booth, of this place. Mrs. Booth obeyed her Savior early in life and lived a consistent, consecrated life, loved by all who knew her. Brother and Sister Booth were reared near Bells, Tenn .. and came to Texas some twenty years ago. It has been the pleasure of the writer to know them both intimately, and it has been a blessed fellowship. ---S. C. Price, Gospel Advocate, April 14, 1910, p. 471.
