ROXBURY.
HERVEY MINER BOOTH.

RoXbury's most beloved and respected citizen passed from this earthly sphere into the great unknown on Saturday, November 9, after an illness of two months. MT Booth was born and reared in this town. From early childhood he showed great craving for books and would recite long pieces of poetry when less than 10 years old. He graduated from Yale college in 1913 with honors, taking the first prize for mathematics. At the time of his demise he was the only living graduate of the '43 class. Although his occupation was that of tilling the soil, he retained great attach ment for his books and was familiar with most of the best authors and his idle moments were occupied in reading and studying the old and new works of science and fiction. To people who ex- pressed sympathy for him in his hermit life, he would answer that in his books he had as desireable companions as any one could desire and that he was content ed. MT Booth lived a frugal and tenn perate life and had always ready hand to help onward worthy object or a needy student. Several poor boys have through his liberality, been able to pro cure college education, and to-day the H. M. Booth free school fund stands as grand monument of his great gener- ousity and public spirit. Like all hu- man beings, he possessed some peculiar ities, but which never interferred with his honorable life or his love for his fel- low creatures. Extinctus amabitur idem-G L. J. P
