Looking for a photo of Charles E.Booth who served in the 89th New York Infantry.This is the information I have on him so far.The photo is for my personal use only and it can be during or after the civil war.Thanks for any and all help.
born in the town of Washington, Duchess county, N.Y., July 1st, 1840.
He remained in that locality until he was 17 years old when he went to Illinois. He lived
there until the opening of the Civil War when he went to Broome County, N.Y., and enlisted
in 1862 in the Dickinson Guards, which formed a part of the 89th regiment of N.Y. infantry.
He was severely wounded in the battle of Antietam, and honorably discharged. Upon recovery
from his wounds he reenlisted, entering the Commissary Department at Washington, as Assistant
Surgeon, serving in that capacity until the close of the war.
Later he again went West locating at Elroy, Wis., engaging in business there. He soon
however took up the further study of medicine graduating from Rush Medical College in 1871
and returning to Elroy, Wis., where he practiced his profession, represented that district
in the State Assembly one term, and was appointed local surgeon for the C. & N.W. Ry. at
that point, which position he held until about 1886, when he received the appointment of
Superintendent of the Northern Hospital for the Insane, at Winnebago, Wis., a position which
he held for four years, resigning to become Superintendent of the Booth Medical and Surgical
Sanitarium, at Ashland, Wis.
In 1896 he was appointed Division Surgeon of the C. & N. W. Ry, with headquarters at Escanaba,
Mich., where he remained two years, resigning to accept the position of physicain [sic] and
surgeon for the Low Moor Iron Co., at Low Moor, Va. He filled that position four years, when
upon the urgent call of the railway officials he was prevailed upon to return to Escanaba,
Mich., and again take up the duties of Division Surgeon for the C. & N. W. Ry. After a four
years further residence there he was compelled on account of muscular troubles to seek a more
congenial climate, and removed to St Andrews Bay, Fla., locating at Gay, North Bay. There
he built himself a beautiful and comfortable home, and in the pleasures of suburban life,
and the less exacting practice of his possession, passed the remainder of his days in a way
that was very congenial and pleasing to his desires and anticipations.
The doctor was one of the finest surgeons in the country, being particularly successful in
his railway practice, and also doing some exceedingly good work in the sanitariums with which
he was connected. He has done some very important work for medical science in microscopy,
and furnished many articles for medical journals, as well as other papers which were read
before the various societies to which he belonged. He was a graduate of the New York Polyclinic
of 1885, a member of the State Medical Societies of Wisconsin, Michigan, Virginia, and Florida,
and of the American Medical Association. He was also a 32 degree Mason, a member of Milwaukee,
Wis. Consistory.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Belle Booth, of Gay, Fla., two daughters, Miss Jewel Booth,
of Gay, Fla., and Mrs. A.F. Snyder, of Escanaba, Mich., three brothers and two sisters, Dr
J.W. Booth, West Colesville, N.Y.; L.D. Booth Chenango Bridge, N.Y,; E.H. Booth, West Pittston,
Pa., and Mrs. Mary Butler of Jersey City, N.J., and Mrs. Clarence Dewey, of Delhi, N.Y.
