Horry Herald December 17 1908

Entered Into Rest
After a Loving and Well Spent Life
Rev. L S Booth dies

At his home near here, on Monday December 7th, 1908, Rev. L S Booth a Baptist minister, fell asleep in the 62nd year of his age, and was laid to rest the following day in the cemetery at Poplar church, in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends. The services were conducted by Rev. D. D Anderson, assisted by Rev. J C Davis of the Methodist church.

It can truthfully be said that a good man has fallen and his loss will be keenly felt by his family and friends and in the churches with which he was identified. However, in death her gains for the grace that supported him through life was with him at last and he met death triumphantly. While suffering unceasingly, he sang some of the sweet songs of Zion, prayed and preached Jesus on his dying bed: Like Job of old he was able to say: "Though they slay me, yet will I trust Thee." Just before dying, he expressed his desire to go and asked his family to meet him in Heaven.

Brother Booth embraced religion and joined the church of his choice in early life and served the church in the capacity of a leader, exhorter until the time of his death and was an ordained preacher. He was a teacher and superintendent of the Sunday school for many years. He did not have the advantage of a first class education, but by close application, especially in the study of the Bible he was able to preach sermons worthy of many pulpits and the best of all he lived the life he professed, was a living witness for Christ and the summons found he doing valiant service in the saving of souls to the glory of God. At the time he was taken sick he was attending the session of the Waccamaw Baptist Association at Loris and suffered for three weeks without a murmur.
Mr. Booth was a faithful Confederate soldier and shortly after the war he married a daughter of the late Pettaway Cartrette and seven children, two sons and five daughters were born unto them. One son, A H Booth, a prominent young lawyer is now practicing in Georgia.

The writer was acquainted with him for forty years and under every circumstance, always found him to be a true man in every respect of a cheerful disposition, he looked for the best in everything and his life was a shining light and example to the community in which he lived.
