SUDDEN DEATH OF A PROMINENT FARMER
Charles Booth, a well-known farmer, died suddenly at the old home ranch, 1 1/4 miles southwest of Tuolumne Tuesday morning. He had been in failing health for the past four years, a sufferer from diabetes, but was able to be about and indulge in mild exercise until the moment of his death, which was sudden and due to heart failure. He entered the house from gathering eggs, and to an inquiry of his daughter-in-law as to the number, his voice sounded strange, and looking at him she observed him falling backward. Before she could reach him he fell to the floor and was dead.
Deceased was a native of Illinois and was in his 63rd year. He came to California in 1869 and settled in Yolo county. Later in life he removed to Monterey county where he spent 10 years, coming to Tuolumne county in 1898, twenty-one years ago. He spent three years at the Jeffords ranch, and then moved to the ranch where he died.
He was preceded to the grave by his wife, who died 11 years ago. Three sons survive him: Samuel, who lives on the home ranch, Fred C. and Edward A. Booth, recently discharged from the army,and who have acquired 800 acres of land in Colorado where they live; also a brother, Rossiter Booth, formerly of this county but now of Hughson, and a sister, Mrs. J. F. Anderson of Santa Cruz. The above relatives, with the exception of the two boys in Colorado, were present at the funeral which was held in Tuolumne Thursday afternoon, under the direction of Undertaker Burden. Services were held in the Methodist church, Pastor Buck officiating. Interment was in the Carter cemetery.
Deceased was a man of good heart and mind. He was reliable and industrious, and square and honorable in all his dealings with his fellowmen and by them held in high esteem. The sympathy of the community is extended the family and other relatives in their bereavement.
