Obit IN MEMORY OF MRS. MILLY BOOTH
Death added on more name to it's long roll of victims by silently entering the home of Mr and Mrs Polk Wilson and striking down the dear old mother, Mrs Milly Booth. Death is no respector of persons; it is solemn in any form, or at any age; solemn when it withers the vigor of youth, or darken the setting sun of the old. Age had whitened her locks and dimmed her eyes, and her step grew slow and feeble, and when the final summons came she was prepared to meet those loved one who had gone before "Grannie" Booth, as she was familiarly called, was born Sept 23, 1803, and at the time of her death was aged ninety-six years and five months. She had been a member of East Union Church for seventy-eight years and tried to do her Christian duty faithfully. She was the mother of eleven children, 5 of whom are living, and has sixty-four grandchildren, on hundred and forty-seven great-grandchildren and four great-great grand-children. For many months she had been in feeble health. Patiently she waited the close of life, abiding the Father's time. She was kind, gentle, modest, loving and charitable, never turning any one empty handed from her door, and caring for every one with a mother's love. The end came peacefully and without pain. Her work finished; she is with Jesus. Henceforth we can think of her as with the redeemed, and llive that we may meet her in the great beyond.
Deceased was laid to rest in the old family buring ground beside her husband, who had bee dead for many years.
