Son of Lewis Edwin Booth and Olive Margaret Frick Booth.
Children: Richard Graham Booth and Carolyn Lee Booth.
--------------------------
NOTE:
Richard Frick Booth was raised by his mother, after the divorce of his parents, when he was about eleven years old. He was a graduate of Occidental College, in CA, and spent a year at Harvard Business School. During the depression he quit school and took job with the John Hancock Insurance Co. At this time Philip Graham, brother of Monabell Doris Graham, met Richard Booth and took him home with him for dinner; it was in this way that Dick and Doris met, and were later married, in 1938.
Richard was involved in many business ventures during his life. For awhile, following his marriage, he was a traveling shoe salesman for the Stetson Shoe Co., He planned to start a shoe manufactoring business but abandoned this idea when one of the partners died. He owned several ice cream and dairy stores in the Lynn, MA area during the war, then sold them and moved to Yerba [sic] Linda, CA in 1951. They then bought a home in Indio, CA, where Richard was in the real estate and building business, where they remained until their son, Richard G. Booth, finished high school in 1958. They then moved to Palos Verdes, CA for about a year; then Richard Sr's building business took him to the San Diego area in 1962, where they built a home in La Jolla, CA; they remained there for the rest of their lives.
Richard and Doris were avid travelers, and visited many countries. They especially enjoyed their visit to Germany, where they were able to contact his Frick cousins, still living there.
Richard and Doris were both cremated and their ashes buried together in this cemetery. [hmh]
