Granville Center News.
Oliver Booth.
"Word was received during Monday night of the death that evening at a hospital in Rochester, N. Y. of Oliver Booth, who, until his remove from this place to Rochester six weeks ago was a resident of our village. Mr. Booth had been in rather poor health for some time, but had been able to be about and do a fair amount of work. During the parade at the recent G. A. R. Encampment in Rochester Mr. Booth joined his comrades in the march, but was soon compelled to retire from the line because of illness which soon became acute, and which in the course of two or three days necessitated his removal to a hospital for an operation which resulted in death as noted above. The deceased was well known here and in this vicinity, and had many friends who are grieved to hear of his death. He is survived by a wife, a daughter, Mrs. Louis Vosburg of Rochester, to whom he and Mrs. Booth had recently gone to make their home, and two sisters, Mrs. P. R. Warren of this village, and Mrs. Julia Wood, of Elmira, N. Y. The remains were brought here for burial the funeral party coming on train 12 Thursday forenoon, and funeral services were held from the church at two o'clock Thursday afternoon."
