IN SERIOUS CONDITION
Henry S. Boots, the well-known druggist and pharmacist of Taberville, has been in the office of Dr. J. B. Gathright, in Appleton City, during the past week in a very critical condition as a result of a severe physical breakdown, having been in failing health for some time. In order that he might receive more careful medical treatment Henry was brought from Taberville to the office of Dr. Gathright several days since and the Doctor, family and friends feel that there has been some improvement in his condition during the past few days, as a result of more prompt and painstaking attention upon the part of physicians, nurses and friends. Mr. Boots' daughter, Mrs. Millicent Thornton, of Chicago, arrived in the city Sunday evening and has since been at the bedside of her father nearly all of the time. Mrs. Thornton when not at the doctor's office will be found by friends at the home of her uncle, Chas. C. Hilton. She was reared at Taberville and has a host of warm friends in this locality and will be pleased to hear from them over the phone or otherwise.

Obituary from The Appleton City Journal, Appleton City, St. Clair, MO, Thursday, Feb. 17, 1921:
Henry L. Boots, the subject of this sketch, was the youngest son of Samuel and Lydia Boots and born two miles east of Taberville, St. Clair Co., Mo., in 1859, his parents having settled there previous to the Civil war. His father and a brother of the same were shot by guerrillas on the banks of the Marais des Cygnes river in the fall of 1861, they having been driven from their home in St. Clair county by the same class of men for being for the Union instead of the confederacy. This left Mrs. Boots to rear a large family of children alone, amid the privations of war and the hardships of a new country, and it was amid these scenes the early life of the deceased was spent. After the war closed schools were established at Taberville where he attended and he afterwards finished his education at Weaubleau, Mo. Soon after reaching manhood he spent a few years in California, but returned to Taberville, where he spent the rest of his life. Soon after his return he established a drug store at Taberville which he kept for a long term of years, and also took up the study of medicine, which he practiced until the time of his death, which occurred at Appleton City (where he was taken for medical treatment) on January 31st, 1921. On Wednesday following he was buried in the family lot at Taberville. His wife preceded him in death a few years. He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Millicent Thornton of Chicago, who was present at his death and funeral, also one grandson and two sisters, Mrs. Sallie Moore and Mrs. Kate Garrison of Taberville and one sister, Mrs. Bettie Purington of Colorado.
(Note: 1900 census gives birth date as Feb. 1859. His death certificate shows a death date of Feb. 1st, while his obituary says Jan. 31st...)
