HIS FALLEN FORTUNES
Ended in Death at the County House This Morning.
James Booher died at the county house at Galesburg this morning. He was one of the last of a large and wealthy family very prominent in the early history to Kalamazoo. Frederick Booher, his father, was one of the earliest residents of this city. He died several years ago leaving considerable property In Kalamazoo and vicinity. There were seven children, five boys - Frederick, George, John, Theodore and James; and two daughters —Mary and Carrie. The father built and occupied the house at 606 west South street now owned by the Hon. A. M. Todd. This was the family home for many years until they were scattered and separated by severe reverses. Two of the children are all that remain of the family. They are Mary and John, and are living in Wisconsin. The Booher were interested in the founding of the Michigan insane asylum, where it is believed four of the children died after being mentally derange for a number of years. James Booher, the youngest son, who died in the county house this morning, was quite an old man-not far from 60 years of age. Kalamazoo Daily Telegraph March 27, 1901 page 5
