 A long and useful life came to a close with the passing of Julia Eliza Crawford Booth last Sunday morning at o'clock. Since she suffered a paralytic shock two years ago she had not regained her former health, but was active about the home, which she dearly loved. As she had been subject to attacks of heart trouble her sudden death was not as great a shock as it otherwise would have been. She was born Feb. g, 1845, daughter of Laur- ems and Emilia Crawford. When still an infant the family, moved to Staff fordville, where she lived until her marriage to Isaac Phillips. Booth, fifty-two years ago. During their long married life she was an able help mate to her husband in his pas toral work and a model wife and mother. Her youngest son, Paul, was called to the colors last Thursday, and this with the fact that all her other five boys will be subject to the next draft caused her some anxiety and perhaps hastened the end. She was the center of an unusually happy home life and she will be sOrely missed there as we'll as in her church, grange and Eastern Star, where she was an active worker while health permitted. Blessed by an: unusually happy, placid disposition she was greatly beloved by all who knew her. Fourteen years ago the family moved from Morrisville, Vt., where her hus- Land had charge of a Universalist church for ten years, into the Horace place. Of the fourteen chil- dren born to MT. and Mrs. Booth, ten are living. Clarence H. of Boston, Louis P of RumfOrd, Me, Edwin l. of Providence, R. l., F. Leon of Spring field. Mass, Maud G., Ralph A. and Mabel E. at home, and Paul c. at Camp Upton, l., I. She is survived by her husband and seven grandchil dren. The funeral was held at the home Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. C. H. Puffer officiating. The burial was in Hillside cemetery. The bearers were her six sons.
